WH110 - Batch Allocation

Run this program to allocate inventory for released documents.  The program
updates the allocated and backordered quantities for specific documents.

If you use the Order Entry system, you decide whether your company performs
batch or online allocation during company setup in the Lawson Inventory
Control system. In the Requisitions and Work Order systems, online allocation
occurs automatically when you release a requisition or explode a work order.
In the Case Carts system you assign the allocation method on a case-by-case
basis. If you select batch allocation, running this program becomes a required
processing step. If you select online allocation, this program is used for
allocating backorders and future orders. In the Allocate Backorders field, you
can select All to allocate inventory to backorders for all documents or select
Yes for released documents only.

Once you've created a batch, you can do a Validate Request before submitting
it. This form action will check each field to determine if the information
entered is valid for that field.  The Validate Request action prevents the
delay of error messages caused by invalid field entries.
