| Item Inventory (whwmd4100m100)Use this session to view for each item the
total inventory that is available in the logistic company. Note Effectivity units of
items that are not lot-controlled are not recorded in warehouse
inventory. Allocated Inventory Inventory throughout all warehouses that is allocated to
outbound order lines. After the inventory is shipped, that is, has left the
warehouse, the allocation is deleted. Also referred to as standard allocation
or soft allocation. See also inventory location allocation. Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is
recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure
conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the
price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use
the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all
item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Blocked A quantity of goods that is blocked. On-hold inventory can
arise when the location, the lot, the zone, or the stock point 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. Economic Stock The inventory that is available to be sold. Committed The reservation of inventory for an order without taking into
account the physical storage of the goods within the warehouse. Previously
referred to as hard allocation. Item In LN,
the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be
purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit,
or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held
in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers.
The following are examples of nonphysical items: - Cost items (for example, electricity)
- Service items
- Subcontracting services
- List items (menus/options)
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. On Hand The physical quantity of goods in one or more warehouses
(including the inventory on hold). | |
