Generate Inventory Commitment (whinp2200m000)

Use this session to generate inventory commitments of (unblocked) inventory for orders of type Issue that are not yet fully committed. When you generate inventory commitment, LN commits the required inventory to a specific order line. As a result, the available inventory for other orders or other order lines is decreased.

To generate commitments:

  1. Enter the selections on the Selection Range tab.
  2. Enter the options and the priorities on the Options tab.
  3. Assign priorities to the orders of the various order types.
  4. Set the processing order per order type. The order type priorities are used if LN generates precise inventory assignments to order lines. You cannot commit order lines for warehouses of Project type.
  5. Print a report containing the generated inventory commitment.

The quantity to be committed depends on the order origin and is calculated as follows:

Order OriginQuantity to be committed
Sales 
ordered quantity - committed quantity.
Production 
to issue + subsequent delivery - committed qty (order unit).
Transfer, Service, Project 
planned quantity - committed qty (inventory unit)

 

Note

To commit inventory manually, use the Inventory Commitments (whinp2100m000) session.
