| # Inventory shortage handling Infor LN FP3 In Infor LN FP3, if an inventory shortage appears for an order line, the inventory shortage can be manually resolved by the user, or automatically by LN. This is only applicable for manually entered orders. If the CTP Check for Sales check box is selected in the EP Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session, LN executes a capable-to-promise check for planned items when an order line is saved. If an inventory shortage appears and the shortage cannot be resolved, you cannot save the order. New in Infor LN FP5 In Infor LN FP5, you can choose between the following functionalities for handling inventory shortages: Basic inventory check This is the old Infor LN FP3 functionality, as described above. Extended inventory check This is a new functionality, to which the following is applicable: You must define an Inventory Check Moment for the order type in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session. Sales order lines and sales component lines receive an order promising status based on which delivery of the lines can or cannot be promised to the customer. You cannot approve a sales order before its (component) lines receive the order promising status Accepted. As a result of this new functionality, the following is applicable: Handling inventory shortages is no longer restricted to only manually entered sales orders lines. Generated sales order lines with insufficient ATP/CTP can still be saved. For detailed information, refer to Inventory shortage handling. Related topics Inventory shortage handling |
