22 Review Information

This chapter contains these topics:

You can review information for ingredients, such as usability, availability, supply and demand, or intermediates. You can review all ingredient transactions in the system. And, you can review all work orders that make up the load at a particular work center. Also, you can view the ingredients and quantities of two ingredients lists or view only the differences.

22.1 Reviewing Ingredient Information

You can choose from three different programs to review information:

  • Ingredient Usability

  • Summary Availability

  • Supply/Demand

Use the Ingredient Usability program to display all processes that use an ingredient and where the ingredient is used in each bill of material. The system calculates the quantity of the process/item that can be produced based on the quantity of the ingredient. You can create a work order directly from the Ingredient Usability screen by typing the appropriate option number next to the process/item that you want to produce.

You can change formats to display the bill of material in either single-level or multi-level format. You can also display all ingredients, or only those ingredients with a negative quantity available, by changing the display mode. You can view data about processes and their ingredients as of a specific effectivity date or view all ingredients regardless of effectivity date.

There are five formats for this screen. You define which format you want to use in the processing options. These formats are:

  • Single level where used

  • Multi-level where used

  • Indented where used

  • All co-/by-products for a process

  • Ingredient Usability

If this processing option is left blank, the Single Level Where Used format is displayed.

Use the Summary Availability program to check the availability of a specific item. You can display the data in detail or summary mode, and for one branch or all of your branches.

Processing options allow you to omit item records that have a zero quantity available and control which versions of associated programs are used when you access them. In addition, you can use the processing options and certain fields to display availability by grade or potency ranges.

Use the Supply/Demand Inquiry program to display the demand, supply, and available quantities for an item in your inventory. Quantities are categorized by on-hand inventory, safety stock, sales orders, purchase orders, work orders, forecasts, and rate schedules.

Use the processing options in this program to:

  • Include both supply and demand planned orders from the MPS/MRP/DRP Message table (F3411).

  • Include forecast demand from the Forecast table (F3460).

  • Display an Available to Promise line that calculates the units available for sale or distribution before the arrival of future supplies.

  • Display a Cumulative Available to Promise line that calculates the running total of Available to Promise.

  • Specify which version of associated reporting feature programs are used when you access the programs. You should use the same program version for each Distribution Requirements Planning generation you run to ensure that your data is consistent between systems.

  • Set up different versions of inclusion rules to include the document type, line type, and status for each purchase order, sales order, or work order. This program's processing option for the Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules must contain a valid version of inclusion rules from the MPS/MRP Resource Rules table (F34004). You should set this option to use the same version that you use in your Distribution Requirements Planning generation in order to facilitate tracking among the systems.

Reviewing ingredient information consists of:

  • Reviewing ingredient usability

  • Reviewing summary availability

  • Reviewing supply and demand information

  • Printing supply and demand

22.1.1 Before You Begin

  • Set up the Ingredient Usability selection from the processing options before you review ingredient usability

22.2 Reviewing Cost Information

From Shop Floor Control (G31), choose Periodic Functions under Process From Periodic Functions - Process (G3122), choose Item Ledger

Use the Item Ledger program to display a detailed history of the transactions that have occurred for an item. The transactions include:

  • Inventory issues, adjustments, and transfers

  • Sales posted after sales update

  • Purchase receipts

  • Manufacturing completions and issues

  • Physical inventory updates

You can limit the data displayed by entering values in any of the header fields. You can toggle between transaction dates (running balance) and general ledger dates for items and set a default display in the processing options.

Because the dates in the item ledger and running balance might differ for an item, the values displayed might also differ. Also, the system displays balance forward quantities in their primary unit of measure.

There are five formats for this screen. You define which format you want to display in the processing options. If this processing option is left blank, the system displays the cost item ledger format. The formats are:

  • Running quantity balance

  • Running amount balance

  • Cost item ledger

  • Location item ledger

  • Lot status/grade/potency item ledger

Transactions resulting from manufacturing completions and issues do not display in the running balance format unless they have been processed through Manufacturing Accounting.

Transactions resulting from shipment confirmation do not display in the running balance format unless they have been processed through Sales Order Update.

Reviewing item ledger information includes the following tasks:

  • Reviewing cost information

  • Reviewing quantity information in running balance format

  • Reviewing cost information in running balance format

22.2.1 What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Using the running balance format In the running balance format:
  • You must enter a valid From date.

  • The balance forward is a cumulative amount up to the From date you enter. The system retrieves the As Of records for the specified item, branch, location, and lot you enter. After the balance forward is calculated, the system displays item ledger records with a general ledger date from the From date forward, in ascending order.

  • You can toggle between quantities and costs.

  • Transactions resulting from manufacturing completions and issues do not display unless they have been processed through manufacturing accounting.

If you have not run As Of Generation program to create records in the Item As Of table (F41112), or a balance forward record does not exist for your item, it might take additional time to accumulate the item ledger records to create a balance forward.
