Pending by minimum stock

From the Production planning (PRODPLAN) application, the Pending by minimum stock tab gives the required minimum stock of the product required for daily operations.

  2. In Properties, select the Main data tab. Navigate to the Procurement area. Enter the desired value in the Reorder point field.

  5. If the Create Production button is clicked, the entry in Pending Minimum Stock is not displayed from the Production planning (PRODPLAN) application.

Note

If there are active production work orders to complete in the future, for products with a specified shortage quantity, the free quantity is affected by this in the way that the future productions fill the current shortage. If you have shortage, but RamBase does not show a purchase requirement in the Purchase (PUR) application, check if there are any production orders that make up for the shortage in the future.
