Balance of stock - minimum inventory – planned outflow + planned inflow within the computation period of this schedule.
Settings in MRP wizard > Details > Inventory > Balance:consider reservations affect this as follows:
If enabled, balance is computed as stock less reservations:
- (outflow less reservations)
+ (inflow less reservations)
In total, reservations are neutralized, but the timeline of requirements can change.
If disabled, reservations are completely ignored in balance computation.
See Configuration wizard > Production > Reservation
Note: If reservation is disabled, no correct balance can be displayed for order-related items. See item breakdown. Order-related items are managed by the customer order to work order function.
Note: The temporal reservation (see requirement coverage) Beas does not check the Balance or order of entries.
Example:
This item is a stock-related sub assembly. The order in this list is by Date of requirement.
Before the system checks which material is needed for the assembly, it checks if stock is available for this assembly.
If yes, Beas reserves the stock for this assembly and you do not need to produce it. The system does not check the required material.
The temporal reservation uses the defined priority: Minimum Stock, Production order, Sales order and so on.
What this means: Beas reserves the material for the work order (line 3) and not for the sales order (line 1 or line 2).
Right mouse click on line 3 - Origin you can see the defined reserved quantity.
Filter Only shortage
This filter shows all items that need to be ordered or produced, or for which the planned inflow is too late.
In this case, assembly “B” would be shown as shortage, as the balance for 4th May is negative.
The inflow to be used can be specified in MRP wizard > Detail > Breakdown of resources.
