Inventory by Specification (whwmd2519m000)

Use this session to view inventory by either:

  • Warehouse and item
  • Warehouse, item, and specification. This is applicable if allocated inventory is present for the warehouse and item combination.

The allocated-to inventory displayed in this session is allocated based on specifications. You can use specifications to allocate inventory to demand orders if the allocation and hard pegging functionality is implemented.

If the Advise Unallocated Inventory check box is selected in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, outbound advice for outbound order lines with specifications can include unallocated inventory (inventory without specifications).

Reference

A reference code to which the inventory was allocated.

LN can use the inventory specified by this record to fulfill a demand specified by this reference and for no other purpose.

LN can use this field in two ways:

  • If the Sold-to Business Partner field is empty, LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference.

You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.

On Hand

The inventory on hand allocated to demand orders by means of specifications.

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 Company - Item Inventory (whwmd4100m100) session.
Blocked

The inventory on hold allocated to demand orders by means of specifications.

The allocated inventory is blocked, for example, for inbound inspections. If the inventory allocation level for the item and warehouse is physical item, the value in this field is updated by both manual blockings and blockings imposed by processes such as inbound inspections. If the inventory allocation level for the item and warehouse is warehouse, the value in this field is only updated by blockings imposed by processes.

Note that the quantity in this field is decreased after the items are put away after inspection or are deleted after inspection or other adjustments.

Blocked for Planning

Note that the quantity in this field is decreased after the items are put away after inspection or are deleted after inspection or other adjustments.

When the outbound advice is released, this quantity is decreased with the shipped quantity.
