Item Availability for Production Controlled Items

You use the Item Availability program (P41202) to review summary and detailed information about on-hand, committed, and available items.

See "Defining Item Availability" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Inventory Management Implementation Guide.

See “Locating Quantity Information" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Inventory Management Implementation Guide.

Transactions that affect on-hand quantities affect the available quantity. Quantity information is vital in the day-to-day management of inventories. The item availability details help you understand current and future needs. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system determines the availability of an item by subtracting outbound quantities from the sum of inbound and on-hand quantities. You must define how you want the system to calculate item availability for each branch/plant by using the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001). Item availability affects how the system calculates back orders, cancellations, and customer delivery times.

The production number tracks the supply and demand of production controlled items on work orders, purchase orders, sales orders, and forecasts. The Production Number field is not available on the Work With Item Availability form (W41202A).

The system maintains on-hand quantity for production controlled items in the F41021T table. The system maintains integrity between the on-hand quantities in the F41021 and F41021T tables.

The system does not recommend inventory allocation based on production controlled inventory.
