Inventory Status Codes

QAD 2017 Enterprise Edition > User Guides > Master Data > Items/Sites > Inventory Status Codes

Use Inventory Status Code Maintenance (1.1.1) to create and modify inventory status codes.

• Assign inventory status codes to sites with Site Maintenance (1.1.13) and locations with Location Maintenance (1.1.18).

• Optionally assign default inventory status codes for purchase order or work order receipts to individual items using Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1), Item Inventory Data Maintenance (1.4.5), or Item-Site Inventory Data Maintenance (1.4.16).

The inventory status code determines whether the inventory balance at a site or location is:

• Nettable for material requirements planning calculations.

• Available for sales order and work order allocations. Allocations are used to reserve inventory and assist in picking inventory to be shipped or issued.

• Issued even if the site or location has a zero or negative inventory balance.

• Not available for particular kinds of inventory transactions. For example, material that is located in scrap locations should not be used for sales order issues.

Inventory Status Code Maintenance (1.1.1)

You must associate an inventory status code with every site or location you set up. You may want to create a blank inventory status code to use for most situations. This status code should be both nettable and available, with no restricted transactions.

When QAD Warehousing is active, the system changes the status of inventory to reflect the good status associated with the current fail status as specified in the Warehouse Management Data frame in Inventory Status Code Maintenance. To activate QAD Warehousing, set Active to Yes in Warehouse Management Control (4.25).
