7.2. Quantities on Hand

The Quantities on Hand screen provides up-to-date QOH information, as well as information about inventory values by item site. This is a particularly useful screen for anyone who manages physical inventory. From the right-click menu, you can transfer and adjust quantities—or enter count tags and miscellaneous physical counts. The columns in the screen also provide detailed item site information, including location details, reorder levels, and more.

Here are some tips for using this screen:

  • Don't confuse QOH with availability. You may be showing a certain QOH, but because of order commitments the actual available quantity may be different.

  • If the Show Inventory Value box is selected, the display will also show unit cost, value, and non-netable value. Totals for each column will be calculated at the bottom of the display. It is not currently possible to view inventory value at a point in time in the past.

  • You can choose to see historical inventory values using the As-Of filter option. This option shows point-in-time inventory values by accounting period. If you do not see the As-Of option, then you probably haven't enabled the feature. You can learn more about enabling the as-of QOH feature here: Section 12.1.1, “Configure Inventory”.

    Warning

    You should only enable as-of QOH reporting during off hours, as this option may require extensive processing when it is run.

  • When a QOH value displays in the color orange, this means the actual or projected QOH is at or below the reorder level. When the color is red, the current or projected QOH is below zero.

  • View ABC class information by enabling the ABC Class column header.
