- Initial Allocation -- the date the Distribution was entered
- Date of Distribution -- the scheduled pickup, delivery or shipping date
- Source Inventory -- the Storage Location the Items came from

- Delivery Method and Shipping Cost
- Comments
- Status -- Scheduled or Complete

### Filtering the Distribution list

Your Distribution list may grow to the point that you really need to be able to narrow things down to find a particular Distribution.

To help with that, you can filter the Distribution list by several aspects: Item, Item Category, Partner, source inventory (i.e. Storage Location), status, and date range.

- Item Category: Item Categories (as specified in [Items & Inventory -- Item Categories](inventory_items.md#item-categories)). This will filter the list to the distributions that contain items that are in the chosen item category.
- Reporting Category: the NDBN reporting category of the Items (e.g. Disposable Diapers, Period Supplies). This will filter the list to the distributions that contain items in that reporting category.

![Edit Distribution navigation](images/essentials/distributions/essentials_distributions_edit_navigation.png)

[!NOTE] When you edit a Distribution -- if is was in the past, you will see a warning to that effect -- because we assumed that you wouldn't normally need to change the Distribution once it had been put together! Some banks will add things when the Partners come to pick up the distributions, based on additional needs and/or supply opportunities.
However, We will give you a stern warning if there has been an Audit since the Distribution was entered, and you may be prevented from changing some Distribution information (such as the storage location), because we just don't know how to handle some of those cases.
However, if there has been an Audit of the Storage Location since the Distribution was entered, you'll see a warning that "This distribution is too old to edit inventory", and you will only be able to change the non-inventory fields (partner, date, delivery method, comment, and so on) -- not the Items or quantities.
