Troubleshooting Resource Allocation

If your resource allocation counts are off on an order, here are a couple of tips for checking the issue:

Resource Allocation sums the supply amounts for the entire order, so if you're struggling to identify an inerrant count, we recommend creating a test order and testing one or two products at a time. This will help you isolate the issue down to the product, where you can check the supply formulas in parts for that product. 

1. Check your supply formula in the parts section. Make sure the formula is converting to the right unit of measurement for the supply (ie they might be calculating the supply in inches, but the piece size for that supply is in feet).

2. If supplies are linked using Attribute, check the attribute table to make sure the right supply is connected.

3. Check that the supply isn't connected on another part in the product, the easy way to do this is to open all the parts then CTRL + F "Part Supply" this will highlight all the areas that supplies are linked on that product and will help you see if another part has the same supply linked.
