Depleting Inventory

There are two ways to create depletion batches.

Option 1: From the Inventory Simulation

Select a product to be depleted in the inventory simulation area of the planning board.
Select Inventory > Deplete from the menu.
The Deplete window is displayed.

Open the Inventory Points overview window by selecting Inventory > Inventory Points from the menu.
Select an inventory point that has a process step that consumes (depletes) the product.
Click the Deplete button.
Unless you have failed to satisfy step 2, the Deplete window is displayed.

Select the General tab on the Deplete window, if it is not already selected.
Enter the number and quantities of the batches you want to create. You will see the total quantity of batches you intend to create as well as the quantity excess required to reach the standard inventory level.
Select which process step you want to use for the depletion. The default step is indicated with an asterisk (*).
Click the Options tab to view.
Select the appropriate option.
Click the OK & Edit button. The Schedule Process Batches dialog box is displayed and where appropriate the Create Inflow window. The Process overview window is displayed after you click OK on this window. Alternatively, click OK if you just want to schedule process batches and, where appropriate, create inflow, but not make any edits in the Schedule Process batches dialog box.

Note: The Schedule Process Batches window and the Create Inflow window only open if they are turned on in the preferences and there is a stage in which inflow can be created.
