Deallocate an operation (via Gantt diagram)

Module Warehouse Management Engine required.

Allocation ensures that the required inventory is reserved for production. If the inventory needed is insufficient and the shortages cannot be resolved immediately, for example, there are problems in the warehouse,... then the operation can be deallocated. The reservation of the needed inventory can be undone.

An operation can NOT be deallocated if the picking has already been released or started!

Only an allocated operation can be deallocated.
