Field help (MODALL)

This field defines when components are allocated to the work order.

• Manual. Components are allocated when requested manually.
• Automatic (global). Components are allocated/deallocated automatically to the work order upon creation, modification and deletion. A global allocation is performed simultaneously for all components. Global allocation does not specify the details of the stock (location, lot) to be consumed. Global allocation simply increments the reserved stock for the component and decreases its available stock. At the time of the effective consumption of the materials, the system transforms the global allocation into a detailed allocation.
• Automatic (detailed). Components are allocated/deallocated automatically to the work order upon creation, modification and deletion. Detailed allocation specifies the location from which the material will be consumed. The allocated stock for the material is increased and its available stock is decreased. The determination of these locations is performed based on the allocation rule set up at product category level.
