         <ListIntro>Knowing whether sufficient material is available at the
		  moment you start working on a production order is essential. An availability
		  check is especially useful in production environments where material supply is
		  a bottleneck. An availability check can help you to do the
		  following:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>To decide not to release
		  a production order.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>To take corrective
		  actions towards logistic personnel and suppliers before production
		  starts.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>To prioritize orders in
		  work centers.</ListItem>

      <Paragraph>An improved shortage check is available. To apply the improved
		method, use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0419m000" role="session">Print Material Shortages by Production Order (tisfc0419m000)</GUIRef> session. The current session is retained for backwards

      <Paragraph>The <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000012" role="glossary">planned inventory transactions</Link> and the inventory data are the basis for the shortage
		report. For a production order that you want to start on a specific date, the
		inventory receipts and issues of the required material are taken into account.
		On the other hand, planned production orders that consume the same material are
		considered. To choose you can select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0418m000#print.proj.short" role="manual">Include Projected Inventory</GUIRef> check box, whether you only want to take the actual
		inventory into account or also the planned inventory
		receipts/issues.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>If multiple production orders require the same material, the
		  orders will use up the available material in the order of the allocation dates.
		  Only planned inventory transactions that are very likely to occur are taken
		  into account. The following planned inventory transactions are
		  ignored:</ListIntro>

         <ListIntro>Ideally you do not have material shortages. However,
		  shortages occur if the material supply does not go according to plan. Material
		  shortages can be caused by the following reasons:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Unreliable suppliers:
		  The delivered material quantities are incorrect, the delivery dates are not
		  right, or the material quality is insufficient.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Production material
		  consumption is higher than expected because of unplanned rejects.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Unreliable material
		  requirements planning (MRP).</ListItem>

         <ListIntro>and issues are not taken into account when analyzing the
