# About the colour coding scheme for the Unall (TN) column
The **Unall (TN)** column adheres to the following colour code scheme:
> Macro (div)
>
> - The **Load (TN)** column is auto-populated with the load capacity of the vehicle selected.
> - The **Unall (TN)** column automatically deducts the value of the vehicles load capacity from the un-allocated quantity once per run, therefore displaying the remaining order quantity to be allocated.
> ℹ️ **For example:** if the order total is 100 TN and a vehicle with a capacity of 20 TN is added to the order with 2 runs allocated, the unallocated qty will display 60.
| **Colour** | **Description** | **What should you do?** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Yellow** | There is un-allocated material for this order | More vehicles are required to satisfy the delivery requirements of the order. Assign more vehicles to the order. |
| **Green** | All the material has been allocated to vehicles for this order | No more vehicles are required to be assigned to this order. All material will be delivered with minimal space wastage. |
| **Red** | There is an over-allocation of vehicles to this order | More vehicle capacity then required has been added to this order. A reshuffling of vehicle assigning may be recommended to reduce the unused space. |
