Viewing Receipt Data
When drilling down to find the reason for shortages, you can view receipts. You can also view the expected receipt dates based upon the date of an Advance Ship Notice (ASN).
Unconfirmed Receipt shows an unconfirmed shipper receipt in supply.
Note: The system consumes the unconfirmed ASN receipt quantities from scheduled and planned receipt quantities to avoid double-counting the receipt.

If you have planned orders only, you can see planned receipts, too.
Planned Receipts
You can rectify shortages by moving up receipts. Then, you can change the schedule in Schedule Maintenance, launched from the browse collection, then, optionally, rerun Net Change Materials Plan to clear any planned receipts. Finally, you refresh the top component availability portion of the screen to determine if this resolved the shortage.
