42Q-MES0161 Material Allocation

Material Allocation

 

Factories are complex, busy places with a lot of systems, machinery, and processes in place. Technology plays a key part in the manufacturing world. We see the benefits of it clearly through lot traceability — you can streamline your supply chain and have confidence in all of the steps along the way.

The inventory management system allocates a specific quantity of materials, as determined by purchasing workers, to meet customer demand. Allocating material to a sales order does not remove the quantity from inventory. The allocation creates a projection of the amount of material the company will need to meet the current demand or sales orders.

 

What Is Material Allocation

Material Allocation is a functionality that provides users with the ability to create lots, allocate materials, and track the material by the location assigned to an MFG Line in specific locations.
