Beskrivelse
Standard Business Central reservations are rigid by design. They lock to specific lot numbers and locations, block changes to orders and require significant manual effort to maintain. For businesses with active order books and changing supply, they create more friction than they solve.
Order Allocation takes a completely different approach. It is a fully automated reservation system that allocates inventory and incoming supply to sales orders without the constraints of standard reservations. No manual reservation management, no locks on lot numbers or locations, no blocked order changes — just a flexible, automated system that continuously matches supply to demand according to your priorities.
When supply changes, it can be difficult to see which sales orders are covered, which are short, and when the allocated supply is expected. Order Allocation adds allocation records that connect sales-order demand with available inventory and incoming purchase-order and transfer-order supply.
Sales lines show allocated and unallocated quantities, available supply, projected supply and delivery dates, delivery offset days, and supply status. They also show allocated inventory and pick status, so immediate inventory coverage can be viewed separately from total allocated supply. Supply status distinguishes full, partial, surplus and no supply.
