Fields on the Stock Recall Lines FastTab:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Item No. | This field specifies the item number. |

| Item Description | This field shows the description of the item. |
| Allocation Rule Code | This field specifies the current active Allocation Rule which is applied for this line.
