The Committed (+) balance is the ordered (requested) quantity, that has not yet been allocated, on an open transaction containing incoming product. The Committed (+) balance increases the Available balance. The Committed (+) balance is comprised of: - Inventory transactions where the quantity of a Lot Tracked line item where the item has been saved without a Production Batch and/or Warehouse Lot (if the Site is Warehouse Lot tracked). For example, if 10 Cases were entered on a Receipt line item and either the Production Batch or Warehouse Lot was unassigned, the Committed (+) balance for that transaction would be 10.
- Sales Returns where the Requested Returned quantity is greater than the Allocated quantity. When this occurs, it is calculated as [Requested] - [Allocated]. For example, if 15 Cases were being returned and 3 have been allocated, the Committed (+) balance would be 12. Note, this amount cannot be negative. For example, if there were 5 Cases requested for return and 7 Allocated, the Committed (+) balance would be 0 not -2
The following unposted transaction lines can be included in the Committed (+) balance. - Inventory Adjustments with (+) quantities and incomplete Lot Information.
- Inventory Production Outputs (things you create during production) with (+) quantities and incomplete Lot Information.
- Inventory Production Inputs (things you consume during production) with (-) quantities and incomplete Lot Information. This would be an unusual transaction only used to put back items previously issued to Production.
- Inventory Receipts with (+) quantities and incomplete Lot Information.
- Inventory Transfers with an incomplete Lot Information (when viewed from for the receiving Site).
- Sales Orders with (-) ordered quantities
- Sales Returns with (+) quantities - not sure if this even allowed
Note: Each of the Inventory Transactions can be conditionally included/excluded from the Committed balances based on the "Include open ### transactions in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the preference are set to "Yes", they will be included in Committed balances and used to update the Available balances, if they are set to "No", they will not be included in Committed so they will not update Available balances. |
