Why:
This option is only used when you have a customer placing orders within Customer Access and should be run after the month end.
Sometimes the allocated quantity remains incorrect on the Parts Master File. Selecting this option ensures that orders are checked for allocated quantities to make sure that the Parts Master File has the same quantities.
The reason for running this option relates to communication problems between Customer Access sites and the dealer where the line goes down while an order is being placed. The alignment takes place between the Order header File and the Parts Master File.
Where:
From the Part View, select Actions > Align Allocated Stock. This will display an Align Allocated Part window.
How to Align Allocated Stock:
In the Align Allocated Part window, users can indicate whether they want to re-align the part number at all branches or specify the individual branch number.
If the part number field is left blank all parts are re-aligned.
To re-align all parts at all branches, you must first make sure that all users are signed off the system.
