ABSTRACT:
A system and method for synchronizing an allocation table with a purchase order in a computerized system. The method comprises generating a purchase order having purchase order data, and using the purchase order data in the purchase order to generate an allocation table having allocation table data. The method further comprises detecting a change in at least one of the purchase order data and the allocation table data, and automatically updating the other of the purchase data and the allocation table data to reflect the change.
