Supply Allocation feature
I have a question regarding the Supply Allocation feature :
- I created an Inventory Item, with a quantity of 5.
- A sales order is placed for this item for 6 units.
- Afterwards, a Purchase Order is created for a quantity of 3.
- It shows that the Purchase Order is allocated for the Sales Order and Allocated Demand=1.
I created a transaction saved search for the PO with the results:
- Item
- Item Number : Number (which is the serial number).
- Allocated Demand
The results showed the 3 serial number numbers of the PO and all of them had Allocated Demand = 1.
I expected to see one row with Allocated Demand = 1 and the rest Allocated Demand = 0.
