WL Inventory Balance Report overview

This report locates out-of-balance conditions, shows detail of the inventory transactions, orders in process, and serial/lot detail. Operator intervention, timing issues, or processing flaws may cause an out-of-balance condition to occur.

This report looks at orders and receipts in different stages. It looks at active and error transactions in WL Transaction Inquiry. This includes the transactions received from TWL and transactions sent to TWL that are not in the process of passing through the interface.

Nonstock items are displayed on the report. Direct Order (DO) and lost business lines are not included on the report. Serial, lot, and quantity records are displayed. These items are considered out of balance if the serial or lot numbers do not match, even when the quantities on hand are the same. The system quantity received is included in the on-hand quantity when the available inventory is calculated.

Partially processed transmissions cannot be analyzed for balancing purposes. Because of this, there should be no work-in-process or open transactions in WL Transaction Inquiry or transactions being uploaded from TWL. The best time to generate this report is when daily activity in the system and TWL has been completed.
