The Allocations Tab reflects software that is allocated to the device.  Software is allocated by adding a Device Allocation record on a Software Entitlement where the License Metric is Per Device.

It has to create manually while creating entitlements?

[Daniel Slocum]

Device Allocations can be created at any time after the Entitlement has been saved. Generally, they are created by a workflow/Flow after software approval has been granted as part of a Software Request. The creation of automation in a flow or the creation of a task for manual Device Allocation record creation is up to each organization.
