3.5 Allocation Table for Customer...........................................................................30
In this scenario, you can choose to plan merchandise distribution using an allocation table
(push method) or a collective purchase order (pull method). The goods are then either
placed in storage or moved through the distribution center by means of processing
methods, such as cross-docking or flow-through.
Head office uses the allocation table to plan, control, and monitor the procurement and
allocation of goods to stores or customers.
In the case of collective purchase orders, however, procurement starts at the recipient. The
recipient’s procurement documents are bundled to form a collective purchase order in the
distribution center and the goods are then distributed to the stores or customers.
Different processing methods are used in the distribution center to distribute articles from
the allocation table and collective purchase order.
Putaway: The goods are placed in a storage bin from the time they are received until
the time they are issued.
Cross-docking: The goods are brought from goods receipt directly to goods issue
without being picked or repacked.
Flow-through: Between goods receipt and goods issue, the goods are transported to
a repacking zone and are picked there.
In order to implement these functions, you need to make settings for the following topics:
Merchandise distribution
Process specifications.
These topics are described in detail in the Customizing Guide. Unless otherwise stated, the
guide describes the settings for the fashion, hard goods, and food sectors. Any sector-
specific differences will be discussed where relevant.

BACKGROUND :
The storage types extend the structure of the WM-managed warehouse ‘PC1’ to include those
storage types that are also required for executing the cross-docking and flow-through processing
methods.
Stock placement control:
The system uses the putaway strategy ‘C’ to automatically search for an article that is suitable for
a stock putaway in a storage type, such as ‘Putaway general FT art.’ (‘001’). The confirmation of
putaway results in the transfer order items having to be confirmed when stock is placed in this
storage type. Mixed storage enables you to store several quants in a storage bin in this storage
type. An addition to existing stock means that the existing stock in a storage bin with a particular
article is increased by a quant of the same article of the same type.
Stock removal control
The system uses the stock removal strategy (‘F’) to automatically search for an article in a
storage type, such as ‘GR Area External Rcpts’ (‘802’), for a stock removal. The confirmation of
removal results in the transfer order items having to be confirmed when stock is removed from
this storage type. When the Allow Negative Stock indicator is set, the system lets you post
negative quants. Transfer posting means that no shipments should be made for transfer postings
but that the article can be relabeled on site if required.

PATH:
PROCEDURE :
PARAMETER SETTINGS :
BACKGROUND :
Every movement type of the inventory management system ('901-912') that is relevant to the
warehouse management system is assigned a reference movement type ('101-641') that the
system can use to determine the movement type in the warehouse management system. The
reference movement type can be used to group inventory management movement types that
result in the same transaction in the warehouse management system.
You can use the stock indicator (‘1’) to distinguish between different processes (such as posting
the goods receipt to unrestricted-use stock or to stock in quality inspection) by means of a
movement type (‘601-912’). The movement indicator specifies the type of document that forms
the basis of the movement, for example, purchase order (‘B’) or delivery note (‘L’).
The indicator for the transfer requirement (‘X’) specifies that a transfer requirement is created for
the article document item. The indicator for the transfer order, however, controls whether transfer
orders are created in the background (‘A’) or by you by means of a transaction (‘X’) once an
article document has been created in inventory management (IM).

PARAMETER SETTINGS :
BACKGROUND :
This profile (‘VPF’) is a central control profile for the merchandise distribution process at
distribution center level. In this process, articles are procured under the condition that on
procurement the recipients to which the articles are to be distributed are clearly specified.
You can use different processing methods in the distribution center to distribute articles to the
individual stores or customers. You can use both the cross-docking and flow-through methods .
The indicator for the time of adjustment controls when a given merchandise distribution is to be
adjusted for each business process, that is, for each allocation table (‘01’) or collective purchase
order (‘02’).
REMARKS :
This profile is assigned under Purchasing/Distribution, ‘Distribution profile’ field in the site master
of the distribution center.

PARAMETER SETTINGS :
BACKGROUND :
In this step, you define how planned distributions should be brought into line with the quantities
actually delivered. You can either use the allocation table or generate a collective purchase order
to create a planned distribution.
Each business process, that is, each allocation table (‘01’), collective purchase order (‘02’), or
processing method, is controlled individually. Business processes include stock placement (‘1’),
cross-docking (‘2’), flow-through (‘3’), cross-docking/flow-through (‘4’), and cross-docking/stock
placement (‘5’).
In the event of overdeliveries and underdeliveries, you define algorithms to adjust the distribution
of merchandise. If, following adjustment, stock remains, the system provides different methods for
further processing this remaining stock, for example, equal distribution (‘3’). mySAP Retail uses
function modules for this purpose and provides standard processes in function group ‘WFR4’.
You can, however, also include non-standard processes by assigning a function module you
have created.

PARAMETER SETTINGS :
BACKGROUND :
The item category in the allocation table controls the logistics process from the procurement of an
article to its receipt in the distribution center.
The item category proposes parameters, for example, for the type of
Purchase order
You use the indicator for the ship-to party of the vendor order to control whether a vendor order is
to be generated (‘1’) or not (‘blank’) as well as who the ship-to party is. For the item categories
‘AAF1’ and ‘AUK1’, the ship-to party is the distribution center, for example. In this case, the
standard purchase order (‘NB’) is the order type.
Stock transfer
Here, you specify whether stock is to be transferred from the distribution center to the recipient in
the system by means of store orders (‘1’) or sales orders (‘3’), for example.
The relevant processing method for distributing stock in the distribution center is defined on the
basis of the article master (‘0’), to which the relevant distribution profile is assigned.

PARAMETER SETTINGS :
BACKGROUND :
The allocation table type defines various parameters for an allocation table, including default
data, such as the item category or notification category.
The notification category in the allocation table controls the exchange of information between
head office and the stores, and between head office and the distribution centers. The system is
configured in such a way that head office first informs the stores of the allocation tables and,
therefore, the quantities and delivery data of the articles to be distributed. This information is then
confirmed by the stores and the required quantity is specified. This is controlled by notification
category ‘C’ (‘Request notification’). Customers, however, do not receive any notification because
notification category ‘A’ (‘No notification’) is set.

BACKGROUND :
If an article is assigned a prepacking service (technically an additional) with the procedure for
additionals '0005', the follow-up actions are determined using this control table.
The sales document type is set to blank when you access the control table for the sales order,
which means that you have to make the entry described above.
Enter the class type and class if you want to limit the site in which the follow-up action is carried
out. An additional is generally assigned once in one DC (in our case 'LZ01').
REMARKS :
The methods and an SLS article (additional) must be assigned to the article master of the article
that is to be prepacked ('Basic Data'/'Additional Data'/'Additional' tab).

BACKGROUND :
It is typical for multiple deliveries to be created for the same article. Because the transfer orders
are created automatically immediately after the deliveries, using a blocking logic that is too
restrictive can cause problems. With method ‘B’, several users can work with the same bin at the
same time. Bin stock is synchronized by means of data-carrying blocks; for example, a specific
article is only blocked in the storage bin for the quantity that is currently being processed.
REMARKS :
Check whether or not the delivery output 'WMTA' should be processed with the batch job
'RSNAST00'. This job can be planned in minutes. The creation mode 'Immediate' uses dialog
processes in the system, which can lead to performance problems when mass processing is
