Substitute Availability by Root Item

When displaying substitute availability by root item, you are presented with the following options:

Item Number

Enter the item number of the item whose substitute availability you want to display. The lookup feature located to the right of the field leads to a searchable list of make and buy items.

UOM

Inventory unit of measure (UOM).

All Sites

Select to display substitute availability for all sites.

Specify site whose substitute availability you want to display.

Show Availability as of

Show availability using one of the following criteria:

Item Site Lead Time

Select to show projected availability based on the lead time specified in the Item Site master.

Look Ahead Days

Select a number using the arrows, or manually enter a value up to a maximum of 1000. Future availability for the specified item will be displayed based on the value entered here.

Date

Display will show projected inventory availability as of date entered up to a maximum of 1000 days.

Normalize to Parent UOM

Select to adjust the quantity on hand (QOH) of substitute items so these quantities meet requirements for substitution. The adjusted QOH is determined by the item substitution ratio.

Substitute Availability

Display lists substitute availability by item, using the specified parameters. If Normalize to Parent UOM option is selected, the substitute item's QOH is adjusted to reflect the substitution ratio. If planned availability displays in the color orange, this means the actual or projected QOH is at or below the reorder level. If the color is red, the current or projected QOH is below zero.

Note

When quantity appears in the On Order column, this refers to quantity that is on order through either a work order or purchase order. In the case of purchase orders, the quantity will always be represented in the inventory UOM—regardless of the vendor UOM used on the purchase order.
