Inventory Inquiry page is the most essential screen used and maintained by the Inventory Control Subsystem. It stores information about each stock item stored at each warehouse. This page maintains descriptive, purchasing, historical use, reorder and cost information. It also maintains on-hand, backordered, reserved, released and in-transfer stock balances. The Location tab provides a grid that displays stock item information at the location level (refer to the “Inventory by Location” topic for more information).
The Inventory Inquiry (INVNQ) page, Inventory Maintenance (INVN) page, and the Item Group (ITMG) page are used to establish and maintain inventory items, and their balances are reflected on the Inventory Inquiry page. The Inventory Maintenance page is used to associate an inventory item with a specific warehouse that is storing that item. In order to establish an inventory item, first there must be a valid warehouse on the Warehouse (WHSE) table and second, valid inventory commodities must exist on the Commodity (COMM) table. A warehouse manager can also bundle items that will be issued as a set on the Item Group table.
The following drill downs exist in the INVNQ page:
