Item quantities received into inventory are assigned an inventory status based on their associated item master data, inventory detail, or the site or location into which they are received. You can use Inventory Detail Maintenance (3.1.1) or Detail Maintenance by Item/Lot (3.1.2) to assign a different status to an item’s quantity on hand.

If you are using the Regulatory Attributes module, you can also define inventory attributes, including status, in Work Order Maintenance. These attributes are then used by default during the work order receipt.

See Regulatory Attributes for information.

You can modify default inventory attributes, including status, during most receipt functions if the receipt location does not already include inventory with different attributes.
