Customer allocations
After defining allocation groups, you need to assign the allocation groups to customers and specify the minimum and maximum quantities allowed for each customer to order of each group of articles.
Notes:
- Multiple groups can be assigned to a customer.
- A customer cannot order less than the minimum or more than the maximum quantities allocated for the group to which the article is assigned.
- Only customers with active allocation groups are displayed in the Customer Allocations page.
