| # Allocation and hard pegging in Warehouse Management Allocation and hard pegging in Infor LN FP4 Allocation and hard pegging is a new functionality in Infor LN FP4. Allocation and hard pegging allows you to perform the following: Allocate inventory to specific demand orders. Create hard pegs between specific demand orders and existing or planned forms of supply. Create and hard peg new supply orders, if required. If this functionality is set up for a company, specifications are used to match supply and demand. For more information, refer to Allocation and hard pegging overview. To allocate inventory or supply orders for demand orders If the allocation and hard pegging functionality is used in a company, when demand orders are created, inventory is allocated automatically and a specification is linked to the demand order. Allocated inventory or supply orders with matching specification criteria are used to fulfil the demand order. Supply orders are created if insufficient inventory is available to fulfil the demand order. The use of specifications in warehouse processing When outbound order lines, outbound advice lines, shipment lines, and so on, are created for the demand order during warehouse processing, specifications are generated for these lines. These specifications obtain the specification characteristics of the demand order. Likewise, the specification characteristics of the supply order are passed on to the specifications generated for the inbound order lines, receipt lines, inspection lines, or handling units. The use of handling units in allocation management Parameter settings determine whether items received by supply orders become identifiable in inventory through handling units generated for the receipt line of the supply order when the receipt is confirmed. These handling units obtain specifications with characteristics identical to those of the supply order. Changing allocations Changing an inventory allocation is required, for example, if the order for which the inventory is allocated is cancelled. To change an allocation, you must use an allocation change order. For more information, refer to Allocation and hard pegging in Warehouse Management.
