In our test company we have turned on the auto-allocation of parts in manufacturing. I have run two MO's through the system and according to GP and the MOPS table the components are allocated. However, I have an issue, as these items are lot controlled and no where can I find the lot numbers chosen for these allocations. I have checked the GP windows and the IV00102 table and allocation show but when I drill down or check the IV00300 and wip/mo tables I cannot find any evidence of allocation at the lot level. Allocation with out lot level identification doesn't make sense to me, so what am I missing? The end result we are looking for is the system to print out the lots to be picked/consumed using FIFO.

PS We will soon be testing this for sales orders as well so feel free to chime in on the issues we maybe facing.
