Product Availability Inquiry - Components overview
Function acronym: ICIA
Use this tab to view information for a specific kit parent product. You can review build on demand and prebuilt kit parent products and their components.
This view provides a snapshot of this information:
- Current availability of a kit's components, groups, options
- Keyword products in sequence number order, as they were created in Product Setup
The quantities needed to complete a kit and the amount greater than or less than the required amount are displayed.
This grid displays component information:
| If: | Then: |
|---|---|
| a component is lacking, | a negative quantity is displayed in the Qty Short ( ) column. |
| a component, group, or option lists a variable quantity, | an X is displayed in the Variable Quantity column. |
| substitutes can be made, | an X is displayed in the Variable Product column. |
| a component is required, | an X is displayed in the Required column. |
| the component appears multiple times in the kit, | an X is displayed in the Multiple column. The value displayed for all occurrences of the same product is the same. The value is negative if the component lacks sufficient quantity. It displays the excess quantity after the quantities needed to build the kit are calculated. |
The quantity that is displayed beneath the Qty Short (-) column is the quantity from the component's Product Warehouse Product Setup Net Available balance after the quantities needed to build the kit are considered. For example, a kit requires three widgets to build each kit. If the Product Warehouse Product Setup Net Available record for widgets has a quantity of 500, then 497 is displayed beneath the Qty Short (-) column.
Labor products show 99999999.99 available for the maximum quantity because Product Warehouse Product Setup quantities do not apply to labor products.
The correct quantity is calculated. The kit quantity and unit specified in the Qty and Unit fields are multiplied to determine the quantity. For example, if you specify 5 each and the component needs 3 to build the kit, 15 is displayed in the Qty Needed column.
