Important Low Inventory Rule

The Low Inventory grid only displays components or ingredients with insufficient stock on hand, quarantined, or on order. A component or ingredient will not appear if the sum of quarantined, on-hand, and on-order quantities exceeds the committed amount.

Overview

Selecting a component type opens a detailed low inventory view with sorting, search, and filtering features. The grid helps identify items that may need purchase orders to cover committed quantities.

The On Order calculation depends on purchase orders that have an ETA date and are in the proper status. The setting used for the On Order column can be modified on the PO Settings page under Administration > Configuration > PO Settings, at the bottom of the Settings tab.
