Screen management

This inquiry contains:

  • A header to enter your selection criteria.
  • A section displaying:
    • The current stock and the stock situation details at the time of the inquiry.
    • The available stock on the entered reference date.

Header

Use the header information to define the site and the product for which you want to display the available stock.

You can also define:

  • A reference date, when calculations start.
  • A periodicity, that is the period covered: in days, weeks or months.


Tab Available stock

Two sets of information are displayed in this section:

  • The current stock when launching the inquiry (not considering the entered reference date). Information related to the current stock is split into two blocks:
    • Current stock: includes the physical stock, stock pending putaway, stock on loan and subcontractor stock.
    • Detail stock situation: stock per status (or situation).
  • The Available stock on the entered reference date. The available stock is displayed according to the periodicity and entered selection criteria. Requirements are displayed in red (they include SOF firm customer orders and MWP planned material requirements). Resources are displayed in black (they include POF firm purchase orders and WOF work orders). Positive and negative signs are not displayed.
    • The Available stock does not include future requirements to come.
    • The Stock available to promise corresponds to the smallest stock quantity available for the relevant period. You can use these results to determine if you can make a commitment to a customer for a specific period. When a product has an expiration date, you can choose to consider the expiration date and the use-by date (UBD) to determine the stock available to promise by clicking Criteria in the action panel.
    • The Coverage displays the number of periods before the stock runs out.
