Ready

This read-only check box shows whether a demand has any component shortages in the APS plan. If no shortages exist, this field is selected. If shortages do exist, this field is not selected. The system determines whether a component is ready or not by evaluating inventory, as well as existing supply that has been firmed into orders or jobs, throughout all levels of the BOM.

If a demand is not ready, use the Component Shortages APS and Component Shortage Report APS forms to investigate the cause of the shortage.
