Allocated Quantity - Manufacturing
The quantity of the allocated inventory required to satisfy existing open orders regardless of horizon. Allocated quantity includes the following:
· The quantity reserved for filling manufacturing orders, transfer orders, and sales orders (MFG).
· The quantity reserved for filling flow authorizations (this quantity is updated when a part availability order shortage report is requested.)
· The quantity reserved for filling Synchro offset releases and delivery point backlogs (this quantity is taken into account only if the user has set the Synchro Allocated Quantity Update flag to 'Yes' on the Daily Batch Parameter category G26.)
The system retrieves these quantities from the Warehouse Balance File.
