How a SO gets allocated (all lines) when the order type is setup to NOT allocate?

(0) ShareShare

Does anyone know how a user could allocate all the lines of a sales order, when the initial order type is setup to None for allocation. It is the only sales order at this client that has it's sales lines allocated, so they must have done something to get it that way but I don't know how. In the database I see the column AllocBy on the header does have a 1 in it while all others have a 0, the only other columns that seems different are: EXTDCOST and OREXTCST on the header, they have about 1/3 of the subtotal amount in a neg.

While in the sales order detail the differences are only in the column EXTQTYAL has values which seem to be the quantity on hand amount, and then of course the ATYALLOC column has a value.

Any thoughts on how from the application the user could have created this scenario.

    When you select to allocate by None, no allocation will be performed when orders are entered. Once the order is transferred to an invoice, fulfillment order, or back order, the items will be allocated according to the options you select for those documents. Note that invoices, fulfillment orders, and back orders do not give you an option to allocate by None.

    Thanks for the reply however I still have an order that was allocated not an invoice and what I was trying to find out is how it happened. The order type is setup up to None for the allocation so can a user allocate a sales order thru the application prior to transferring it to anything? No other orders have allocated prior or since this one.

    Only if they change the allocation method on the order type. Other than that, I don't know of any other method that would allow allocation if the order type is set to allocate by None.

    Ok thanks, so weird.

    If you had a SOP-POP link, when you book in the goods, they would allocate to the order, that is the only thing that comes to mind, unless you have some custom allocation modifications running (for example we allocate via a custom SQL job).
