! When your merchandise managers run a

promotion they want to be able to plan the
promotion and execute the purchasing and
distribution seamlessly. Using allocation tables
and Retail promotion they can.
! Store managers want to know and fine tune the
stock that is allocated to their store and which
promotions are going to be run in the near future.

merchandise to distribution centers and stores.
" Allocation tables can be used to:
$ Allocate merchandise to sites(which sites, how much merchandise)
$ Determine vendors as the source of supply
$ Generate follow-on documents (purchase orders, deliveries)
$ Notify sites of allocations and receive volume requests

" Promotions to the public seem quite simple. The store simply lowers the price.
" However, from a logistics and accounting view point, much additional work must be done to ensure
that the right merchandise is on promotion and the right volume of merchandise is available at the
point of sale.
