Allocation Horizon
The number of 'time buckets' that can be used in advance of the Due Date, or Dispatch Date, for allocating this Item from the inventory. Time buckets are defined in the Inventory Business Unit and can be set as Accounting Period, Day, Week or Month.
For example, an order may be dated November 2002 but not be required for shipping until March 2003. The order can be accepted but would not be allocated from the current inventory. The system uses the Allocation Horizon field to calculate when to allocate the item from inventory. You should include processing time in the Allocation Horizon to ensure the correct items are available by the shipping date.
Note: This can only be used with Automatic Allocations.
