Understanding Outbound Inventory Availability

You can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Outbound Inventory Management system to track outbound inventory in real time. This enables you to keep track of outbound inventory levels at your customer's location and enables you to take informed decisions to generate replenishments.

With the Work With Outbound Inventory Availability application you can track:

  • Quantity on hand

  • Quantity consumed

  • Target inventory

  • Age of inventory

  • Agreement remaining quantity

  • Quantity on hold

  • Value of inventory for customer

  • Value of inventory for supplier

  • Quantity in transit

For customer owned VMI orders, the system does not update the Item Ledger File table when you report inventory consumption because ownership of the inventory has been transferred to the customer. Therefore, you cannot track inventory using the Item Availability application. The Work With Outbound Inventory Availability application enables you to track quantity that is moved from supplying location to customer location using customer owned VMI orders.
