Then, enter the product, set the allocation end date, specify the quantity, and click Save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once saved, the system reserves that quantity for the selected customer at the selected site. Other customers cannot consume this reserved stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3: Create a Sales Order<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a sales order for the same customer and ship-to site. Select the product for which you previously made the reservation. After entering the quantity, the system will display a popup message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you select Yes, the system uses the reserved stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4: Verify the Allocation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After saving the sales order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will see that the order quantity has been deducted from the reserved quantity. Everything updates automatically. No manual adjustment is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This functionality can be further enhanced by enabling customer grouping. Stock reservations can be assigned to a customer group, so that reserving stock for one customer automatically allocates the reserved quantity to all customers within that group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customer Allocation in Sage X3 is simple but very effective.
