Material Availability
Does production planning check whether the required materials are actually in stock?
Every production plan carries a raw material list that compares what the run needs against what the warehouse actually holds. Availability is computed from the stock ledger minus active reservations, per component and per warehouse.
How it works
The raw material list is generated from the plan’s BOM: for each phase and component it shows the raw material, the necessary quantity, and the available quantity in the warehouse named on the BOM. Availability is not a cached number — it is summed from the warehouse stock ledger and reduced by open stock reservations, so quantities already promised to sales, requests, or other distributions do not count as free.
The list shows the plan quantity alongside the per-component figures, so a planner can read directly whether the run is covered, and the measure unit for each component comes from the shared reference data. Because components are ordinary articles, a shortfall feeds straight into the standard purchasing flow — a request for the missing quantity against the same article record.
What the view returns
Drawn from ManufacturingScoped toOne production run, phase by phase
Ledger-true availability
Available quantity is summed from stock ledger entries and reduced by active reservations at the moment the list is read.
Per-phase, per-warehouse detail
Each component shows its phase, its warehouse, its necessary quantity, and its available quantity on one list.
Reservations respected
Stock reserved for sales, requests, or distributions is excluded, so two processes cannot silently count the same units.
Shortfalls route to purchasing
Missing quantities are purchased through the standard request-to-order flow against the same article records.
What this touches
- Warehouse Management
Availability reads the same stock ledger and reservation records the warehouse module maintains. - Purchasing & Supply
Component shortfalls become purchase requests in the standard procure-to-stock flow. - Production Planning
The raw material list is generated from the plan’s BOM and quantity.
