Reset Backorder Quantity (MRBO)

Purpose: Use this option to reset the backorder quantity of items in inventory, as stored in the Item Warehouse table.

Generation options: You can run the reset for all items in all warehouses, or for a specific item/SKU in a specific warehouse. You cannot specify a warehouse unless you also specify an item/SKU:

• Update all Item Warehouse records:

- If you leave the Warehouse, Item, and SKU fields blank, the job resets all Item Warehouse records and generates a report.

- If you enter just the Warehouse, the screen displays an error; but if you submit the job anyway, it resets all Item Warehouse records and generates a report.

• Update a single Item Warehouse record: Otherwise, if you specify a warehouse and item/SKU, the job resets just that Item Warehouse and does not generate a report. Since the screen displays the current B/O qty if you enter the warehouse and item/SKU, you can compare this number with the Backorder quantity after you exit the screen.

Note: If you specify a warehouse and the item code for a SKU’d item, you must also specify a SKU.

Inventory sharing? The setting of the Inventory Sharing (A69) system control value determines which program performs the backorder reset. If this system control value is:

• selected: the system runs a batch job; also, it generates the Reset Audit Log for Item Warehouse unless you specify a warehouse and item/SKU. Note: If you are using inventory sharing, run the Item Warehouse Backorder Quantity Reset in the company where you actually maintain the inventory and then run the Item Warehouse Backorder Quantity Reset in the company(ies) that share the inventory.

• unselected: the system runs the sp_reset_qty_backordered SQL stored procedure; also, it generates the Reset Audit Log for Quantity on Backorder unless you specify a warehouse and item/SKU.

Scheduling the reset: You can also run this reset using the Daily Inventory Reset periodic function (program name MSR0698); see How to Schedule a Job.
