PRINT DETAILED PART AVAILABILITY REPORT

Use this report to select range of parts and prepare a detailed schedule for each part, showing its current inventory and all anticipated supply and demand for a given range of inventory projects.

Inventory balances and safety stock requirements always reflect current balances, but future supply and demand does not reflect modifications to orders, requisitions, and requirements done since the last time MRP was executed. Therefore, we suggest that you run this report right after MRP execution. The report will print the last MRP run date, and any part modified after the MRP process was run will be flagged.

Use this report to get a printout of supplies and demands.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
