Unavailable quantities

Unavailable quantities by reason type are tracked in Product Unavailable Inventory Entry. Product Unavailable Inventory Entry is updated when a product’s unavailable quantity changes in Product Warehouse Product Setup. The unavailable quantity is updated from the sources:

• Product unavailable transaction types
• Sales Return Merchandise (RM) orders, Stock Orders (SO), and Counter Sales (CS)
• Purchase Return Merchandise (RM) orders
• Purchase orders or warehouse transfers that are received with products flagged as unavailable in Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry or Transfer Receipt of Inventory Entry
• Storeroom Receipt Entry issues containing Storeroom-managed Receive as Unavailable items

Products designated as unavailable awaiting inspection are flagged as unavailable during Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry or Transfer Receipt of Inventory Entry. After these items are inspected and can be placed into inventory, use Product Unavailable Inventory Entry to move the unavailable quantities to On Hand.

When you enter a RM purchase order, specify a return reason. This return reason is set up in SA Table Code Value Setup. It ensures that the unavailable balance in Product Warehouse Product Setup is adjusted. You can view unavailable quantities by reason type in Product Inquiry-Unavailable. You can tell what has been returned to the vendor or disposed through other means.

Change the unavailable quantities directly in Product Unavailable Inventory Entry. A warning is displayed if the quantity you specify does not match the unavailable quantity in Product Warehouse Product Setup.
