Inventory Management: Stock Overview Display Variants
Use
Depending on the display level, you can display the stock data in different ways (display variants). The functions can differ from level to level. The following display variants exist:
Features
Basic List
The various stock types are displayed in columns in groups each containing three stock types. You can switch between the different groups of three. When switching to a new display level, the basic list always appears first. You can call up the basic list for the following display levels: article list, article, and individual variant.
A deletion flag is displayed for all organizational levels except for the site groups at the lowest level if a deletion flag has been set for the article master data at the corresponding level.
You can also display the stock data in alternative units of measure.
Breakdown List
This provides an overview of the stocks at a selected organizational level and at the next level down. You can go from the basic list to the breakdown list. You can then break down the list further. From one list level, you can go back to the preceding level or directly to the basic list. A breakdown list is not possible at special stock level. The breakdown list is only possible for "article" and "single variant".
Stock types are displayed in the same way as in the basic list, except that site data, storage location data, and special stock data are also displayed, even if you did not select these display levels on the initial screen.
At the article list display level, you can break down the variants for a generic article. The total stock of the generic article chosen and of all of the variants selected is displayed.
If you break down the display at the article list display level, the system switches to the basic list for the article previously selected.
Segregated List
The segregated list provides an overview of all stock types defined for the particular organizational level selected and can be used on the "article list", "article" and "
individual variant" display levels.The segregated list makes it possible for you to include in the basic list only those stock types necessary for day-to-day activities, allowing you to scroll quickly between the few stock types chosen. If required, you can activate the segregated list at any time, where you can also view the less important stock types.
When calling up the segregated list for special stock lines, you obtain a more precise display for the vendor or customer for whom stocks are stored at your company, or on whose premises your own stocks are stored. In the case of consignment stock, you can also branch from the segregated list for the vendor selected to the price segment assigned.
Matrix Display
For each combination of characteristics to which an existing variant can be assigned, the system displays the stock value of the variant assigned. This form of display is possible only at the variant split display level.
You choose the organizational level and the stock type, for which you want to display stock data in the matrix, by positioning the cursor on the corresponding line and column in the basic list/breakdown list for the generic article. If only one variant-creating characteristic exists, the data is displayed in the matrix as an individual line.
By positioning the cursor on a variant in the matrix and choosing Basic list: variant, you can branch to the stock overview for this variant (individual variant display level).
