Description

Supply line

Identifies the supply type, source, item, quantity, destination, date, status, and other details.

For example, line 1.1 in supply order 300100081515548 is a buy line that includes a quantity of 50 for item AS54888, shipping from Los Angeles to Denver with a requested delivery date of 12/7/19 11:59 PM. It has 0 errors, 0 exceptions, 0 in jeopardy, and its status is In Production.

Orchestration uses the supply line to track and manage the supply order.

Supply tracking line

Orchestration uses the tracking line to track fulfillment for the supply order. It tracks.

  • The supply source, including the organization that supplies the item, subinventory and location where the item resides, and so on

  • The supply request, such as organization that made the request, subinventory, and location

  • Supply dates

  • Status

Orchestration creates at least one tracking line for each supply order. It might create more for a supply order depending on change that happens during fulfillment.

The top part of the Overview page on the Supply Lines Overview tab displays tracking lines.

Exception

Change in supply that affects quantity or supply date. For example, a reduction in quantity, date change, or canceled supply.

Jeopardy

Jeopardy happens when supply is delayed beyond its promised date.
