Guide numbers - what a dealer may expect to be allocated over a period of time, usually a model year but if the product is successful may be revised.
Allocation - what a dealer may be able to order over the course of two order cycles, one cycle per week.
A dealer may have a number left to order from the guide number but can not predict just when that will come up in the bi-weekly consensus. There are patterns, so approximate times can be guessed but an allocation may come both quicker or later and no one knows for sure until it happens.
