Interchangeable effectivity units for the outbound process

The effectivity units can be interchanged when there is no inventory available for the ordered effectivity unit.

For project pegged outbound order lines, when there is no inventory available for the ordered effectivity unit, LN allows you to interchange effectivity units.

Example

Warehouse Item Inventory on Hand Location Allocated Quantity Available Quantity
WH01 item001 50 0 50

The ordered effectivity unit (3) is not in the inventory, so another effectivity unit is advised and the Planned Inventory Transaction (PIT ) is updated. The result of generate outbound advice:
