Costing Subinventory Material Staged for Production

Costing can account material movement from warehouse or a common stock subinventory to a shop floor supply subinventory for work orders that are scheduled for production in the near future.

This supply subinventory is commonly marked as not available-to-promise to prevent the production material from being used for other purposes, while enabling cost accountants to report on the value of the material that's staged for production but not yet issued to work orders.
