Managing Inventory Levels

If the Inventory levels do not exist, then an inventory transaction automatically creates them. However, it is recommended that you set up inventory levels as part of the authorized stock list for an inventory location. As part of the authorized stock list, create the default inventory levels (for example, On Hand - Good) when users create an inventory location or add a new product to an inventory location. If your company plans to stock an inventory level, then do not rely on an inventory transaction to create the inventory level.

You can set up a workflow process to automatically create an inventory level when a user adds a product to an inventory location. For more information about setting up workflows, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.
