Maintenance inventory

Maintenance inventory is all the inventory related to asset care. This includes spare parts and maintenance related consumables.

Maintenance Inventory can be managed either directly in Infor MES or in a separate system, for example, an ERP.

MES does not manage maintenance inventory at the individual inventory pack level. Instead, it generates an inventory pack in the background to represent each unique material, supplier, and location, but the inventory pack is never exposed to the user.

The inventory level for the material at the location is decremented as material is picked to be used, and incremented as unused material is return to stores, or new material is received.
