Overview
Authorized vendors have the option to massively allocate product to Purchase Orders with items from their Vendor Availability.
Mass Allocation Process
To start using this option follow the steps below:
- Log in to your vendor account.
- Go to Purchase Orders > Confirm PO.
- Using the filters, search for the items needing to be allocated.
- Once the user finds the products to be allocated click on the "Mass Allocation" button.
The system will display a pop-up window called "Vendor Availability Allocation Process". Please enter the Aging from and to, and Post Harvest of the inventory products. Then, click on Continue.
Before filter your products, please take into account:
-For the allocation process, the system will begin by allocating the oldest product (major aging).
-Even if you can associate several Post Harvest from this filter, the system will start searching for the Post Harvest with the major aging.
-If you have the same product, for the same date, the system will search for the Post Harvest with the greater amount of products.
- The system will take a few minutes to complete the allocation.
- Once the system completes the allocation, a blue V will appear next to the product name indicating that the allocation using the vendor availability products was successful. The user can see more information about the product that was allocated by hovering the mouse over the blue V.
PO items partially allocated
When a PO item has not been completely allocated, a gray V indicator will appear next to the PO item name. Notice that in the next example, the system just allocated 50 units over a total of 247. The system does not allow reallocate products. The allocation process must be completed manually.
