- While making fulfilling orders,
it is important to understand how your inventory works.
So let's open up a sales order,
and we'll use this Indianapolis one.
So I'm going to go over here to Sales Order,
I'll hit the find button up top,
and let's put in, C314,
return
and there's the order.
All right, and there's our tablets.
And for the tablets here, you'll see the, Z0002
I'm going to hit that golden arrow.
And that gets me into the item master data.
And I can go ahead and look at some of this information and
we're going to look at the inventory data.
So hit that tab there and you'll see,
there's a table in here,
these rows on the table are different warehouses.
And if we can get here for a sec,
you can see there's different warehouses here.
And I'll probably, if I expand it,
you'll be able to see the different warehouses.
Warehouses are places where you store product.
For example, clicking the arrow here for warehouse two,
we find out that it's a Los Angeles warehouse.
Warehouses do not have to be physical though.
You could have a warehouse for conditioner product.
So for example,
I'm going to have some in warehouses already.
I'm going to go ahead and hit add here.
Okay.
And I'm going to define a new one and I'm going to call this
returns and I'm going to update that.
And now I have a new location called returns here,
and I can do the same thing up top here with a workhouse
code.
I'm going to make an RET,
this does not have to be a number so I could call it
warehouse six, but I'm going to just say RET
and call it returns.
So you can make up your own warehouses.
And then you've got all the different information about it.
If you wanted to put that in there and I'm going to go ahead
and hit add,
and that can successfully completed this.
I can close this up now, refresh my item,
master data real quick here.
And if you look on the bottom here,
there's our returns warehouse.
Now across these, we have different columns.
The in-stock is simple.
We have that many product in stock next to that is
committed, which is the number we've sold,
but not shipped yet.
And ordered is the number shipping to us and available is
more important than in stock because what this is is the
aggregate of these others.
It's the in-stock minus the committed plus the ordered at
the bottom is a total for all warehouses.
So you can close this inventory master item.
For marketing documents
you can add this information to the rows.
So I'm going to make this bigger so we can see this a little
better.
And we've got a lot of stuff here.
Some of it I'm not even going to use like the cost of goods
sold stuff.
I'm going to make this a little smaller and modify my sales
order here to make it a little more useful.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go up here and
you'll find a button that says form settings,
in the tool bar,
open that up and find the table format tab.
And this lists what you're going to have here.
And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go down this list
until I find a warehouse... here's warehouse.
I can click that one on and by clicking it and divisible and
active, that will now add it.
And I'll get rid of a few things here.
All towards the bottom. I believe.
I don't need to use it for measure code for right now.
Cost accounts, cost, branch, all that stuff can go away.
We're not doing blanket agreements and stuff like that.
So we can pull all that stuff out.
Now, down here, we've got warehouse quantities.
So I can put those in here and we're set to go here.
So now I can set this up any way I want and we go ahead and
hit, okay, here and now we've got a little bit smaller ones.
It's a little easier to see,
and you can see how many we have in the warehouse and how
many committed an ordered.
Okay. That's good.
Knowing your inventory amounts,
make sure you don't sell something you don't have.
That can happen at times.
Let's look at it happens when you have a back order or run
out of product.
