Specify Inventory Status Codes
Use Inventory Status Code Maintenance (1.1.1) to create and modify inventory status codes for the locations you plan to use to store consigned inventory. It is recommended that you define a status code with the Available, Nettable, and Overissue fields set to No. When you create a consigned sales order line and enter a consigned or in-transit location, the system checks the inventory status code. If the status code for the location is available or nettable, a warning displays and the system prompts you to continue.
Available
When this is No, inventory is not available for allocation to sales orders. For inventory residing at a location that represents the customer facility, setting available to No prevents the allocation process from selecting that quantity for a different sales order.
Nettable
Setting nettable to No prevents MRP planning logic from including that quantity as inventory on hand.
Overissue
Setting overissue to No prevents the inventory balance from being negative.
Restricted Transactions
Inventory status codes can prevent particular transactions from occurring. For example, you can create restricted transactions for consigned inventory to prevent it from being included in a cycle count or unplanned issues/receipts.
