Quantity on Hand

This field maintains the total quantity of an item at all nettable stockroom locations. The Non-Nettable field on the Item Stockroom Locations form determines whether a location is nettable.

Note: This field does not display the total on-hand of all non-nettable locations, but the total on-hand of all non-nettable locations in warehouses for which the Dedicated Inventory chec kbox has not been selected.

You cannot update the on-hand quantity from the General tab on the Items form. However, you can change the on-hand amount using one of the following activities:

  • Quantity Adjustment
  • Quantity Move
  • Miscellaneous Receipt
  • Miscellaneous Issue
  • Job Receipt

The system automatically updates the on-hand amount whenever you perform any of the following:

From CO:

  • Manual ship/return
  • Generate order pick list (with Post option)

From PO:

  • Manual receive/return
  • Generate PO receiving list (with Post option)

From Shop Floor Control:

  • Post a job transaction for the last operation with quantity complete
  • Manual issue/withdraw
  • Generate job pick list (with Post option)
  • Posting production schedule complete transactions

From Inventory:

  • Move stock from a nettable location to a non-nettable location, or the reverse
  • After posting new quantities for a physical inventory or cycle count

If the on-hand amount is greater or less than zero, you cannot delete the item. Normally, an on-hand quantity cannot go negative. If you want to allow quantities to go negative, select the On Hand Neg box on the Inventory Parameters form.

To sum the totals from the Item Stockroom Location to give the on-hand amount, run the Rebalance Item Qty On Hand utility.
