Fixed Allocation
It is a way of thinking of allocation, and a method to ensure the quantity of provided items and not to divert them to other demands. Thus it is required to record the allocation status by order as the detailed statement of inventory allocation on the ledger sheet, and then to take measures against the status of receiving/issuing.
