The Committed (+) balance is the quantity of inventory that increases the Available balance to reflect what Available would be after the transactions are posted.
The Committed (+) balance is comprised of:
- Inventory Transactions: The quantity of a Lot Tracked line item 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 Transactions: The value of [Ordered] - [Allocated] quantity of a line item. For example, if 15 Cases were being returned and 3 have been allocated, the Committed (+) balance would be 12.
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 that 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.
