Complete overview of allocated stock

When there are a large number of open orders, keeping track of stock allocations becomes crucial for effective planning of deliveries, production, and purchasing.

The solution provides a comprehensive overview of order allocations (hard allocations) and provides users with accurate information about which quantities have already been allocated for customers and where there may be discrepancies between ordered and available quantities.

This gives the company better control over its stock and reduces the risk of delivery delays.

Detailed overview of order allocations

The system provides a detailed overview of all allocations for individual orders and items.

Key information available for each line:

• Order number,
• Order date,
• Customer,
• Item ID,
• Item name,
• Unit of measurement,
• Ordered quantity,
• Allocated quantity,
• Unallocated quantity.

This overview makes it possible to quickly identify orders for which the allocation has not yet been fully completed and to take timely action to ensure delivery.

Summary by item

A summary overview by individual items is also available for stock planning and management purposes.

The display includes:

• Item ID,
• Item name,
• Current stock,
• Total quantity ordered,
• Total quantity allocated,
• The difference between the ordered and allocated quantities.

This makes it possible to determine which items pose a potential risk to future deliveries and where additional ordering or production will be necessary, all in one place.

Planning and Purchase support

The overview of allocations enables faster and more reliable decision-making with:

• Purchase planning,
• Production planning,
• Stock management,
• Scheduling deliveries to customers,
• Tracking open orders.

Decisions are based on actual allocation data, not just on current stock levels.

Early risk detection

The system quickly identifies situations where:

• The ordered quantity exceeds the available allocations,
• There is insufficient stock to fulfill open orders,
• There are critical items with a high number of allocations,
• There is a risk of delivery delays.

This enables timely action and reduces the likelihood of customer dissatisfaction.

Greater transparency in the sales process

With a centralized view of allocations, the sales, purchasing, production, and logistics departments all have access to the same data.

This improves:

• Interdepartmental coordination,
• Planning of activities,
• The overview of outstanding payables,
• Reliability of supplies.

All participants in the process can make decisions based on consistent and up-to-date information.
