Hiding Inventory

Hello

i’m a NAV noob, and our implementation of NAV was definately not the best. Just so everybody has context for the stupid question to follow.

We are a garden center, that produces much of our own stock. I like to enter the production numbers as soon as I can after things are planted, however they’re usually not ready for a couple weeks or months. I could make item cards that would be “work in progress” items, but that can become a nuisance when you’re dealing with hundreds of perennials. Plus, it would include another step of converting all the work in progress items to finished items.

So, can anyone think of a way to “hide” finished items from showing up in the regular inventory? Or can you think of some kind of solution for the dilemma?If I put items in as finished items right away, people think they’re available so it can get really confusing.

From my limited knowledge and experiences with NAV, I think that production orders may be the way for us to go. We currently have not implemented much of the manufacturing module.

I really appreciate all help and suggstions onthis issue

Best,

Jason

Hi,

Production orders will work for you. Just keep production order open until everything is ready.

If you create a released production order and enter an expected finished date it will show available on that date. As you get closer you can adjust the date to be more accurate.
