Allocation Fundamentals
You split one womenswear knitwear style across forty-two shops and follow it from the intake booking to the clearance rail. The depth forecast was right to four units in twenty-six hundred. The season still lost margin, because every door was sent the size shape of a chain nobody shops in.

What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can allocate an intake across stores on evidence rather than an even split, tell the difference between the stock your system claims and the stock that exists, and plan for returns as a cost you priced in.
Who it is for
Brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You do a complete initial allocation. You build store grades from measured share. You split the intake four ways and show the arithmetic. You reconcile a size curve to the doors it was averaged from. You split per door by largest remainder with a presentation minimum. And you reconcile leftover stock against unmet demand at season end, priced.
