Hi all!

I am not able to see information on the shortage list report ? I am using Nav 5. Is it a bug?

Facts:

I have cretaed a firm and a released production order and I know that I do not have enough components qty on hand so Iexpect to see something on both reports but NOTHING.[:(]

Setup: all my components have Bacward as flushing method. is it related ? Do I need to have manual as flushing method ? If yes how can I have a report that show me all missing parts.

Thanks

If you run replenishment report you can see your missing items.

Hi Nuno,

Where is that report located in Nav5? I dont see that report.

How that report is really work as I do not understand how the calculation of missing items is done base on the fact that i can have “manuel” or “bacward” as flushing method ? And expected dates to receive those items are they used at all??

Any clarifications will be helpful.

Thanks

Okay

Looking at Manufacturing - Execution - Reports - Prod. Order Shortage List this looks at the components of the BOM being manufactured at the location the components are required.

If you look at Cronus the first order is 101001 where 15 are required at the blank location, whilst 28 are available in the white location. It tells you how many you need, and how many might be fulfilling this demand by other means.

What specifically do you not understand?

Thanks adam.

What I need is a report that tell me base on all quantities that I have on hand if I need other components related to the specific order that I open?

And this is not what I get when I am running the shortage report in Nav5.

My client want to be able to know if he can fulfill the order ( firm planned or released order) before beginning the job

So how are you linking components to unreleased works orders? For the system to tell you what a specific order requires means you have to assign open inventory to unreleased orders to get this. I mean if I have 1 in stock and 2 orders requiring it how are you telling the system which job gets the component and which does not. Full reservations? The shortage report gives you a shortage by location, are you saying you would move the stock? If so it will become a scheduled receipt and the quantity required will be less. Can you explain why the shortage report actually does not work for you with an example?

So you mean that the shortage report does not giving you missing components for specific work order but for a location?

In fact what i need is a report that tell me how much quantities are missing from components on my order at the time that I run the report ( so it should check the due date of my components if there are some purchases ) so so I know that I am able to begin the work. I do not want to use reservation, just to know if I can begin the work or no with what I have on hand

Thanks
