| # Item Inventory (whwmd4100m100) Use this session to view for each item the total inventory that is available in the logistic company. Note Effectivity units of items that are not lot-controlled are not recorded in warehouse inventory. Allocated Inventory throughout all warehouses that is allocated to outbound order lines. After the inventory is shipped, that is, has left the warehouse, the allocation is deleted. Also referred to as standard allocation or soft allocation. See also inventory location allocation. See also location allocation Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Blocked A quantity of goods that is blocked. On-hold inventory can arise when the location, the lot, the zone, or the stockpoint is blocked. You can block inventory for various reasons, for example, for inspection or cycle-counting. If a location has been blocked for all transactions, the blocked quantity is equal to the inventory on hand. You cannot partially block the inventory at a location. Economic Stock The inventory that is available to be sold. Committed The reservation of inventory for an order without taking into account the physical storage of the goods within the warehouse. Previously referred to as hard allocation. Item In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) On Order The planned receipts. The inventory has been received and the inbound advice is generated. However, the advice is not yet released. This quantity is included in the economic stock.
