Hello, 

When generating repair orders, what is the order or algorithm used when trying to allocate the product? For instance, we have multiple unusable inventory types, but the repair order often asks if we want to transfer from good to bad instead of looking at the other unusable types. If bad quantity is 0, what is looked at next? Is it alphabetical? Or is there something else at play? Is there a way to adjust this? We would like to better understand so we can manipulate effectively on our side without having to transfer inventory first. We are using Alliance 15.3

Hi,

Assuming you are creating Internal Repair Order.
The logic for allocating selected product from a Repair Order is as below:

The product is sorted by available QTY in ascending order, then by record ID (this is when the bin_part record was created). 
Only product with available QTY greater or equal Repair Order Qty are included.
The inventory type the Repair Order is looking is 'bad' (always).
It will allocate the first found.

When Product in inventory type = 'bad' is not found, Repair Order is looking for other inventory type and pick the one with the most QTY available.
This is the time you'll see message whether you want to transfer to the 'bad' bin.

Hope this help.
