Use this session to obtain an overview of the item inventory by warehouse. You can select a line and access related data through the options on the appropriate menu.

Note
  • Effectivity units of items that are not lot-controlled are not recorded in warehouse inventory.
  • To apply DMS planning to the inventory of the supply warehouse, select the appropriate lines and, on the appropriate menu, choose Direct Material Supply Distribution.

 

Warehouse
The warehouse in which the item is stored.
Cluster
A group of entities that are not necessarily related to one financial company or logistic company.

In Enterprise Planning, clusters are used for groups of warehouses, connected by supplying relationships.

Warehouse Type
The type of warehouse indicates the purposes for which you can use the warehouse. The warehouse type also determines the data and settings that you can define for the warehouse.
Item
The item code.
Storage Zone
The code of the zone where the item is stored. This zone is used only in warehouses that do not use locations.
Note

This field is for information only.

Inventory on Hand
The physical quantity of goods in one or more warehouses (including the inventory on hold).

LN updates the inventory on hand if items are received or issued.

Note

LN automatically updates the overall inventory on hand for each item throughout all warehouses. The overall inventory on hand is displayed in the Item Inventory (tcibd1500s100) session.

Inventory Blocked
A quantity of goods that is blocked. On-hold inventory can arise when the location, the lot, the zone, or the stockpoint is blocked. You can block inventory for various reasons, for example, for inspection or cycle-counting.

If a location has been blocked for all transactions, the blocked quantity is equal to the inventory on hand. You cannot partially block the inventory at a location.

Inventory on Order
The planned receipts. The inventory has been received and the inbound advice is generated. However, the advice is not yet released. This quantity is included in the economic stock.
Note

LN automatically updates the overall inventory on order for each item throughout all warehouses. The overall inventory on order is displayed in the Item Inventory (tcibd1500s100) session.

Inventory Allocated
Inventory stored in specific warehouses or warehouse locations that is allocated to outbound order lines for which outbound advice is created that is not yet shipped. Also referred to as firm allocation or hard allocation. After the inventory is shipped, that is, has left the warehouse, the allocation is deleted.

The allocated inventory is updated by outbound order lines of the following origins:

  • Sales
  • Maintenance sales
  • Maintenance work
  • SFC Production
  • ASC Production
  • Sservice
  • Transfer
  • Project
Blocked for Planning
The quantity excluded from planning. The items exist but are unavailable for planning.
Economic Stock
The economic stock of the item for the current warehouse.
Unit
The inventory unit in which the item is stored.
Reorder Point
A set inventory level where, if the total stock on-hand plus total on-order falls below that point, action is taken to replenish the stock.

Inventory control is based on a number of decision rules, which determine when, and in what quantity an item is ordered. This depends on the order method and the values of the following fields in the current session:

  • Reorder Point
  • Economic Order Quantity
  • Fixed Order Quantity
  • Order Interval
  • Maximum Inventory

If the reorder point and the economic order quantity are specified, recommended orders to replenish the stock are generated as soon as the economic order quantity falls below the reorder point.

The order quantity can be fixed or variable, depending of the values specified for the Fixed Order Quantity and Maximum Inventory fields.

If you also specify an order interval, orders are not generated the moment the economic order quantity falls below the reorder point, but LN checks at fixed points in time whether the economic order quantity has fallen below the reorder point. If yes, LN generates a recommended order.

Note

The reorder point is updated in the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session. If the Update Inventory/Order Data check box in this session is selected for the item concerned, the reorder point is updated.
