 | 12. Utilities |  |
To use the Allocate Reservations utility it is necessary to select Enable Sales Reservations in Sales Setup.
The Allocate Reservations utility enables you to allocate Inventory to batches of open Sales Orders. This can be a more efficient method for quickly making hard Inventory allocations, as compared to allocating Inventory one-at-a-time at the individual Sales Order Line Item level. You can allocate Inventory to batches of Sales Orders using the following screen:
Only Sales Order Line Items that can be completely reserved using actual Quantity on Hand will be affected when this utility is run. If a Line Item cannot be completely reserved, it will be skipped.
When allocating Inventory to batches of open Sales Orders, you are presented with the following options:
Select to allocate Inventory to an individual Customer's open Sales Orders.
Specify the Customer Number of the Customer whose open Sales Orders you want to allocate Inventory to. The browse button located to the right of the field leads to a searchable Customers list. You may also access this list using the keyboard shortcut "CTRL + L". Once a Customer Number is entered, the Customer name and billing address will display. Select the "—" or "$" symbol to view Customer information for the specified Customer. If a Customer's credit is "In Good Standing," the button will feature a black question mark ("—") icon. If the icon turns to an orange dollar sign ("$"), the Customer's credit Status is "On Credit Warning." A red dollar sign ("$") indicates the Customer's credit Status is "On Credit Hold."
Specify the Customer Ship-To Address whose open Sales Orders you want to allocate Inventory to. This is an optional setting which may be used in conjunction with the "Selected Customer" setting. The Ship-To option gives you the added flexibility of being able to assign multiple Pricing Schedules to a single Customer based on separate Ship-To Addresses.
Specify the Customer Type you want to assign a Pricing Schedule to.
Enter a Customer Type pattern to select a range of Customer Types. Refine your search using Regular Expressions.
