Enter Import Cost Line - Allocations (v2.8)

Use this option if you want to allocate this item to outstanding customer backorders, supply chain orders, enPOS orders, or Micronet Job Costing (MJC) orders during the import costing process. You can use it to post a single receipt line to a number of different orders.

Technical Tip

The Select Order to Link To screen is displayed automatically when you load a purchase order into an import costing batch if:

you have selected the ENTER ALLOCATIONS WHEN LOADING P/O menu option on the Import Costing screen (refer to "Import Costing - Menu Options")
and there are backorders, supply chain orders, enPOS orders or MJC orders containing items that are being received.

To allocate received items to orders:

Display the Enter Import Cost Line screen.

Refer to "Entering Import Cost Lines".

Select ALLOCATIONS.

Micronet displays the Select Order to Link To screen.

This screen displays the following fields:

	Field	Value
	Item	Micronet displays the item number and description of the item being received.
	Qty Received	Micronet displays the quantity of the item received into stock.
	Qty Allocated Now	Micronet displays the quantity of the item currently allocated to backorders, supply chain orders, enPOS orders and MJC orders. This field is updated as you allocate quantities of the item using the steps below.
	Current Allocations	Micronet displays any quantities of the item that have already been pre-allocated to backorders, supply chain orders, enPOS orders and MJC orders.
	Customer Orders	Micronet displays any backorders, supply chain orders, enPOS orders or MJC orders that exist for the item received, and whether they have been partially delivered and allocated

To allocate the receipt to an order, double click on a backorder, supply chain order, enPOS order or MJC order in the Customer Orders section of this screen, or select an order and press Enter.

Micronet displays the Enter Quantity to Allocate screen. This screen differs slightly depending on the type of order selected.

In the Allocate Now field, enter the quantity of the receipt to allocate to the selected order and then select the Accept button.

Micronet redisplays the Select Order to Link To screen with the allocated quantity in the Current Allocations section.

Repeat the steps above to perform further allocations.
When you have finished allocating items, select the Ok button.

Micronet redisplays the Enter Import Cost Line screen.

Technical Tip

Although you have now allocated the items to orders and jobs, you need to run the Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers program to convert the pre-allocations to invoices, picking slips or MJC job postings. For more information, refer to "Sales - Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers".

This step does not apply to supply chain orders, enPOS orders and MDS transfers, which are automatically posted when the goods are received. MJC jobs may be automatically posted when the goods are received if the AUTOMATICALLY POST TO JOBS option is toggled on (refer to "Import Costing - Edit - Automatically Post to Jobs").
