Field help (SALLTYP) 

The allocation type (global/detailed) is initialized to the value of general parameter ALLTYP - Allocation type (VEN chapter, SAL group). It can be modified depending on the entry transaction used. The allocation type specified in this tab serves as the default value for the order lines created later.

This information can no longer be modified once the order has allocations.

The global allocation reserves the goods without distinction by applying a global total, whilst the detailed allocation reserves specific stock objects (lot, serial number...). An order can be allocated from the order (entry of the quantity to be allocated or using the Actionsicon of the line to select stock lines in detailed allocation or using the allocation button) or from the Automatic allocation or Allocation by product functions.
