Activity 5: Request Unassigned Inventory
A sponsor creates an unassigned allocation when it requests products from the unassigned inventory at its servicing warehouses.
To create an unassigned allocation:
Display the Sponsor Summary - Allocations tab.- Click the Summary menu.
- Click Sponsor Summary.
The CNPweb displays the Sponsor Summary - Applications tab.
- Click the Allocations tab.
The CNPweb displays the Sponsor Summary - Allocations tab.
- Click Add Unassigned.
The CNPweb displays the Unassigned Request Form showing products at the servicing warehouse in the unassigned inventory status.
- Review the form and locate a product you want to order.
- Review the costs and available quantities for the product.
- Type the Request Quantity.
- Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 for each product you want to request.
- Click Next Page.
The CNPweb calculates and displays the entitlement cost, PAL value, administrative fees, processing fees, and the total fees for the requested product quantities.
- Click Submit.
The CNPweb submits your unassigned product request and displays the Sponsor Summary - Allocations tab showing the new unassigned allocation.
Notes:
- The Unassigned Request Form displays products grouped by commodity type: entitlement, entitlement no-charge, and bonus. If a commodity type does not appear, it means that the servicing warehouse doesn't have unassigned product for that commodity type.
- Use Previous Page to change your requested products or quantities before submitting the request.
- You cannot change an unassigned request allocation after you submit it.
- Unassigned allocations use the "Req" allocation code and appear on the Sponsor Summary - Allocations tab for the sponsors.
- Your state agency can turn off the unassigned request feature for the current program year.
