Supply Chain › Reachable by link

Item · Stocking Policy

Where an item may be stocked and how it is restocked there — which is a different question from how the item is planned.

Where to find it

Module: Supply Chain
Group: More
Section: Reachable by link
Screen: Item · Stocking Policy

Address in the console: /scm/item-subinventories

List · 10 columns · 12 fields on its form · 1 of them required

This screen carries no tile on the module page. It is reached from the record it belongs to, from a saved view, or by its address.

What the list shows

These are the columns of the list, in the order they are drawn. Any of them can be sorted on, filtered on, hidden, or exported.

Column	Kind	Field name
Item	Code	`item_no`
Warehouse	Code	`warehouse_code`
Subinventory	Code	`subinventory_code`
Allowed	Yes or no	`is_allowed`
Default	Yes or no	`is_default`
Min	Number	`min_qty`
Max	Number	`max_qty`
Locator	Status	`locator_control`
In force from	Date	`effective_from`
Until	Date	`effective_to`

The form

What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.

Field	Type	Choices	Notes
Item required	Choice	Looked up from existing records
Warehouse	Choice	Looked up from existing records
Subinventory	Choice	Looked up from existing records
May be stocked here	Yes or no
Default location	Yes or no
Minimum	Number
Maximum	Number
Reorder point	Number
Locator control	Choice	none, prespecified, dynamic, item_level
Cycle count every (days)	Number
In force from	Date		The date this version of the row takes effect. Leave it as today unless you are dating a change ahead.
Until	Date		Leave empty for open-ended. Setting it ends this version rather than deleting it.

The rules that apply here

Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:

Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
