Shortage Report
As part of the Component Availability features integrated into the workbenches, you can access the Short Report tab within the workbenches. Production planners, material ex ped i tors, or schedulers can generate a list of components with shortages that impact the scheduler’s production schedules for the production lines or work centers. In the report, these users can expand an item to see details regarding the shortage, such as the first date the shortage occurs, which production line or work center is impacted, and the most recent supplier/PO found in the system for the component.
The shortage report displays a Quantity Available to Allocate column, too. The system calculates quantity available to allocate as:
Qty with Available Status - Qty Allocated where
Qty with Available Status = in_qty_avail
Qty Allocated = in_qty_all
Click on the Shortage Report tab at the top of the workbench to display a report that provides the following data:
• Component item number, description, and Component Availability status
• Quantity short and gross requirements
• Next scheduled receipt and receipt ID
• Buyer/planner
• Pur/Mfg code and parent item
• Production order ID, status, and operation
• Production line, work center, and site
