Discrete Job Shortage Report

The Discrete Job Shortage report lists either jobs with open requirements or jobs with component requirements for which there is a shortage. Shortage component requirements can be listed based on the quantities available in all subinventories or based only on the quantities available in the component's supply subinventory. You can also list shortage components based on all subinventories or only those subinventories that are nettable. Only discrete jobs with statuses of Unreleased, Released, Complete, and On Hold are listed on this report. See: Reporting by Status.

You can print a job's open requirements to identify components you need to issue or have not yet backflushed. You can print the shortage report to highlight components you need to expedite. You can sort either report by component, date required, department, job, or by make/ buy option, buyer, and planner.
