The Committed (-) balance is the ordered (requested) quantity, that has not yet been allocated, on an open transaction containing outgoing product. The Committed (-) balance reduces 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 Production Input line item and either the Production Batch or Warehouse Lot was unassigned, the Committed (-) balance for that transaction would be 10.
- Sales Transactions: Items on Sales Order Shipments, where the Shipment has not been Shipped, where the Ordered quantity is greater than the Allocated quantity. When this occurs, it is calculated as [Ordered] - [Allocated]. For example, if 15 Cases were ordered and 3 have been allocated, the Committed (-) balance would be 12. Note, this amount cannot be negative. For example, if there were 5 Cases ordered and 7 Allocated, the Committed (-) balance would be 0 not -2.
Note: Each Inventory Transaction 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. |
