Inventory Reporting

Negative inventory is displayed for a specific entity. If you allow negative inventory, you can deliver goods for an order when goods are physically available, but not yet registered in LN.

You can define safety stock for mandatory project pegged items, and planning can be performed for pegged safety stock. You can view and maintain project pegged safety stock in the Safety Stock by Project Peg (whwmd2114m000) session.

You can use LN to store and handle rejected goods in a quarantine warehouse. Rejected inventory can also be stored and handled in a specific location, which is called a reject location. LN handles rejected inventory against the specification as determined in the original purchase order and purchase order line.

Quarantine inventory payable to supplier is an alternative method to handle quarantined inventory. After you receive an initial rejection for received items, you can manage follow-up activities such as scrapping, reworking, returning, or using the inventory "as is."

Lot control enables you to trace the origin of incoming and outgoing lots, and to find out where these lots are used. You can record information about each lot, such as lot number, buy-from business partner, manufacturer, and certificate number. This information is used for quality assurance. If the item is not lot controlled, effectivity units are not recorded in the warehouse inventory.

In general, expensive items are produced and handled in relatively low quantities, whereas the goods flow of less expensive items involves higher quantities. In LN, this concept is modeled in the low volume and the high volume scenarios that provide various options to register and track lot and serialized items.

Lot prices can be determined by enterprise units.

When a lot is received in a warehouse, the enterprise unit of the warehouse is linked to the lot. Therefore, multiple enterprise units can be present for a lot if the items belonging to a particular lot are received in warehouses belonging to different enterprise units. For each enterprise unit linked to the lot, pricing and other lot data can be different.

The need to track items by means of serial numbers arises from the items' cost. The more expensive the item, the more closely you want to monitor the item during its life cycle.

In general, expensive items are produced and handled in relatively low quantities, whereas the goods flow of less expensive items involves higher quantities. In LN, this concept is modeled in the low volume and the high volume scenarios that provide various options to register and track lot and serialized items.

The Print In Transit Inventory (whinr1410m300) session is used to print overviews of inventory that is on its way from one warehouse to another. The report displays item quantities listed on transfer orders. The items are issued from the origin warehouse but have not yet been received in destination warehouse. These items are loaded onto trucks or other means of transport, or located at pooling points such as harbors or airports.
