RE: Non-Inventory

[Beth Norris <BNorris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

We are on version 6.0.04, mixed mode and we have a warehouse set up as
'non-nettable' as our 'reject' warehouse similar to your application.

I agree that the material status inquiry screens display the inventory as
on-hand, this can be confusing if the user is just looking at the overall
on-hand and not by location or warehouse.  The only way to truly see the
'available' on-hand would be to look by location or warehouse in the
material status inquiry screens, and manually deduct the on-hand of anything
located in the non-nettable warehouse.

I also agree that the system does not use the inventory in a 'non-nettable'
warehouse for planning purposes.  The on-hand balance displayed in MRP
Planning/Pegging does not include the non-nettable amount, instead that
quantity will be displayed in the non-nettable field.

Is there a way to code either a warehouse or a location as being "Not in
Inventory" ?

We have material that has been rejected by incoming inspection.  It is
moved to a separate warehouse pending a return to the vendor.  This could
take several days or in certain cases several months.

When someone looks at the part in material status inquiry, the program
includes the rejected material as 'On Hand".    Which they consider that
misleading as the material is not available for production.
