# Inventory Allocation Workflow

Salesforce admins enable and configure Inventory Allocation by turning on required features, assigning user permissions, and adding the Inventory Allocation component to Order and Work Order record pages. Order managers create inventory allocations, define product fulfillment locations to automate source selection, and track allocations on product item records.

## Salesforce Admin

Salesforce admins configure and enable Inventory Allocation.

- Enable Inventory Search and Transfer
- Enable Inventory Allocation
- Add the Inventory Allocation component to Order and Work Order record pages using the Lightning App Builder.
- Assign required user permissions to the appropriate users.

To help your partner users allocate inventory, set up an Experience Cloud site. To learn more, see [Experience Cloud](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.networks_overview.htm&language=en_US&type=5).

## Order Manager

Order managers create and track inventory allocations.

- Create inventory allocations directly from demand records such as orders.
- Track and modify the allocated inventory.

Note Ensure Product Fulfillment Locations are defined to automate the determination of source locations for allocations. Currently, you can only mention one inventory source location if you are using auto allocation. If you want to select multiple locations at once, you need to use the Manual allocation process.
