A ZERO availability for all constraint items?

This cannot be correct, or, the supply chain [and my order] is really %$^** up!

I doubt it's correct, all zeros is either a byproduct of them not being in the allocation system at all or the data not being updated.

I don't think anyone has a definitive answer. Unless you personally go to the flippen factory and ask everyone involved, we will never know. It's a combination of parts constraints and politics. Who gets first come first served anymore?

Rather than read through 10k posts, can someone please direct me to a forum topic or post that will explain or summarize how the allocation process work for different dealers. Also would like to know just how to decipher what the constraint list and dates really mean. I want to send out a quote request to some dealers but don't want to bother asking someone who doesn't have an allocation or try to order something like a Z51 that isn't available to order.

Given that the indicated desired quantity is stated as "0" dont believe your screen snapshot has been populated with this week's current numbers.

Hopefully someone else with access to this weeks National allocation's can post them here.

On the above screenshot from toddrichards, am I seeing that correctly that it has skipped a production week? Based on Ken's post, I would have expected the next report to show a TPP of 2/17 to 2/23.

my friend is from a Chevrolet Buick Cadillac store. He is sold out of all his allocations for the year so this may be a result of that, but I've seen them with numbers in the national Qty section. Just not this time.

There should still be some national allocations for at least one or more of the constraints..perhaps the prior poster has got it correct - the wrong week was brought up on the screen
