When you have production runs with “Planned” status, you can check if you have enough materials to complete these planned productions. To do this, click the “Check Forecast” button at the top of the production screen.
In the dialog that opens, you'll see projected inventory levels and minimum stock requirements for materials on each date where planned production is scheduled.
How to read this report
This report shows all dates that have production runs with “Plan” status in the system. For each date, it displays:
-
Projected inventory levels for materials, accounting for planned production runs and upcoming purchases
-
Materials with projected levels below minimum are highlighted in red
-
The “Only with forecast below minimum” toggle filters to show only materials where projected inventory falls below the minimum threshold. You should restock these materials by placing orders with suppliers.
If you use products as components in other products (subassemblies), the dialog will also show projected inventory levels for these component products.
