Understanding Commitments for Grade and Potency

When the system creates commitments for grade- and potency-controlled items, it moves the grade and potency range to the parts list. The range is defined on the Bill of Materials. Only lots that are within the range are eligible for commitments. The system creates the commitments in date sequence.

In this example, the work order quantity required is 800, and the grade range is A01 through A03:

Level	Location	Expiration Date	Grade	On Hand	Commit
Primary	..	N/A	N/A	0	50
Secondary	9406220000	08/31	A01	50	50
Secondary	9406230000	08/15	A02	300	300
Secondary	9406240000	12/12	A03	400	400
Secondary	9406250000	09/01	A04	5	0
Secondary	9406260000	09/01	A05	5000	0

The system commits the quantities using the primary unit of measure. When the specified lots in the range have insufficient quantity to meet all of the commitments, the system commits the remainder to the primary location at standard grade or potency.
