Information from Inventory Management

Use

The component inventory management has many functions, which provide you with detailed information on all materials. Refer to the standard documentation Reporting in Inventory Management for more details. AFS supports the stock overview at SKU level. You can find information on the stock/requirements list in the documentation on production planning and control.

The stock overview gives an overview of the stock of a material across all organizational levels. AFS supports this functionality at SKU level.

Features

To see a display of your AFS material in the various stock types at SKU level, choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Inventory management ® Environment ® Stock ® Stock overview. The stock overview displays the batch number, the grid values, and the corresponding stock categories of the material entered in the selection screen.

The system does not handle the following stock at batch level:

On-order stock
Reserved stock (if no batch has been reserved)
GR blocked stock
Stock in transfer

You can, however, display grid values for the above mentioned stock types:

Open the breakdown of stock in individual stock types by double-clicking on the table entry Plant.
By double-clicking on one of the above mentioned stock types, you will get an overview of the stock of individual grid values in the stock type you chose.

Note

This function is only available at plant level, not at storage location level.

Stockkeeping units are sorted according to batch numbers in the stock overview. To sort stockkeeping units according to the grid values, choose AFS Sort. The sort sequence depends on the settings you have made in Customizing and in the grid processing:

In Customizing, specify the sort sequence for dimension values of a dimension (AFS ® Cross-Application Components ® Material Grids ® Define grid dimensions; Define sort sequence).

In the processing mode of the material grid, activate the Customizing settings and determine the sequence in which you want the individual dimensions of your grid to be displayed.

AFS Restrictions

The SAP standard functions are also available in the AFS system at material level. However, data is only processed at SKU level as described above. It is not possible at present to select categories or grid values as selection criteria or to display the various stock types for an SKU.

You can find restrictions for special stock in the document Special Stock.
