Checking Item Availability

When you use the Available to Promise feature, you can check the future availability of an item. This shows the demand date recommendation based on available supply.

Item availability calculations use the following assumptions:

• When the item availability check is done on an assembly, all existing orders for the assembly are reviewed. NetSuite does not review possible component shortages of components.

• The current item availability check is available only for assembly and inventory items.

• Existing drop ship orders and special orders are not considered as part of supply or demand.

• suggested purchases or work orders in a supply plan are not considered for availability calculations because these orders are not yet firmed.

You can check item availability in the following ways:

• Checking Item Availability on Transactions

• Checking Item Availability on the Check Item Availability Page
