Note 416909 - Allocations: Backward consumption, next quantities first

Summary

Symptom

During the backward consumption in the allocation, the oldest accessible free product allocation quantities are always used first.
If the backward consumption is limited (number of periods), the free product allocation quantity in the past will not be used, or will only be used to a limited extent, for the next customer order (with a later delivery deadline).

Requirement: In the allocation of quotas those free product allocation quantities should be used up first during the backward consumption that are closest to the check deadline (depending on the setting of the material availability date, goods issue date or delivery date).

Other terms

Transaction: VA01, VA02
Allocations, product allocation, ATP, APO
