      <Paragraph>It is essential to know
		whether sufficient material is available at the moment you start working on a
		production order.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>For example, you want to know whether sufficient material is
		  available for production order X00001 on (future) production start date X. To
		  determine the availability of material, ERP Enterprise can take the following factors
		  into account:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Material that is not yet
		  present in inventory, but that will arrive before date X (scheduled purchase
		  receipts or scheduled production receipts).</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Planned production
		  orders that will consume material in inventory before date X.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>Based on the previously mentioned assumptions, the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0418m000" role="session">Print Shortages by Production Order (tisfc0418m000)</Link> session determines whether shortages exist of a material
		  for a specific production order on a specific date. Using the session, you can
		  perform a pessimistical analysis or an optimistical analysis to determine
		  whether the required material for the production order is available in
		  inventory.</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Optimistical analysis:
		  Projected inventory and the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000315" role="glossary">clustered</Link> warehouses are taken into account.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Pessimistical analysis:
		  Schedules receipts and blocked inventory are not taken into account.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>You can also use the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0516m000" role="session">Inventory by Production Order (tisfc0516m000)</Link> session to check whether sufficient material is
		available for a production order.</Paragraph>
