Contents

This screen allows users to inquire about supply and demand by viewing the soft allocation of specific end item demand across all orders and inventory types.

Users can inquire about a supply to see the demand requirement(s) it is allocated to (bottom-to-top view). Conversely, users can inquire about a demand requirement to see all supply allocated to it and any low-level requirements and their supply (top-to-bottom view)

The inquiry screen supports various order options, including Manufacturing Order, Purchase Order, Requisition, Transfer Reservation, Inventory, Planned Order Supply, Inventory Reservation, Sales Order, MO Requirement, Safety Stock, Sales Forecast, and Planned Order Demand.

The screen also displays information of the supply order as the first row if the Order Option selected is for a supply order type. If the supply order type is a purchase order or requisition and a Delivery Schedule exists, it sorts by schedule line. Underneath, it displays all demand requirements where the supply was allocated to, sorted sequentially.
