Sales Order Allocations

  • A new object "GF Item Allocation Summary" is created to store summarized item allocation by warehouse by item and by unit of measure.

  • Trigger "GF_ItemAllocationTrigger" is added to detect Insert, Update, and Delete operations against the GFERP's Item Allocation object. The system will increase or decrease the quantity count in the summarized table based on the operation type/or the quantity change detected by the trigger.

  • A night job routine is scheduled to recalculate the allocated quantity in the summarized table.

    • The night job will run the batches in the following order.

  1. Empty the summarized table - GF_DeleteSummarizedItemAllocationBatch

  2. Prepare the item allocation table - GF_UpdateItemAllocationBatch

  3. Generated summarized item allocation records - GF_SummarizeItemAllocationBatch
