Stock inquiry

What you will do​

Look up stock by location, pallet, SKU, lot, serial or owner. See what is available and what is held. The inquiry only reads. It changes nothing.

Before you start​

  • Know at least one of: lot, location, LPN, serial, SKU, owner.

Steps​

  1. On Main Menu, press 2 (Inventory).
  2. On Inventory, press 1 (Stock Inquiry).
RF screen Stock Inquiry with empty search fields
Screen INVINQ01: the search fields. Focus: Fill at least one field, then press Enter.
  1. On Stock Inquiry, read the status line: Fill at least one field, then Enter.
  2. Fill in at least one field. See the table.
FieldWhat to enter
LotA lot code (up to 40 characters)
LocationA location code (up to 30)
LPNA pallet label (up to 40). A label with several data fields can be scanned here.
SerialA serial number (up to 60)
SKUA SKU or barcode (up to 50)
OwnerAn owner (up to 50)
  1. Press Enter.
RF list Stock (Enter = details) with four stock rows for SKU001
Screen INVINQ02: the list titled Stock (Enter = details). Focus: Each row shows SKU, location, LPN, quantity and ATP (available quantity).
  1. On Stock, the list Stock (Enter = details) shows one row for each position. A row reads {sku} {location} {lpn or loose} {qty}{uom}. It adds ATP {n} when the available quantity differs, and HOLD when the stock is held.
  2. Choose a row with Enter.
  3. If nothing is found, the status line says Nothing found — Esc to change the filter. Press Esc and change the fields. If you searched a location and you see stock there, press F6 (Report stock) — see Report stock the system does not show.
INVINQ03 - Position
Screen INVINQ03: the details of one position.
  1. On Position, read the details:
LineWhat it shows
SKUSKU code and description
LocThe location
LPNThe pallet label, or loose
LotThe lot, or -
OwnerThe owner name
QtyQuantity and unit
AllocQuantity reserved for orders
On holdQuantity on hold
ATPQuantity available now
HoldHold details. Shown only if the position is held.
  1. If you searched by serial, a line says Serial {serial} — qty below is the whole position. The quantity is for the whole position, not for one unit.
  2. Press Esc to go back to the list.

Look at the serial numbers​

If the line Serial-tracked — F2 lists the units shows, press F2 (Check Serials).

INVINQ04 - Serials Here
Screen INVINQ04: the list of serials of a position.
  1. On Serials Here, check Position ({location} {lpn or loose}) and What ({sku} lot {lot}).
  2. The list Serials on this position shows each serial.
  3. If no serial is recorded, the status line says No serial numbers recorded on this position.
  4. Press Esc to go back.

Report stock the system does not show​

Use it when you see stock in a location, and the system shows nothing there (or not this stock). Open it from the Inventory menu, Report Unexpected Stock (screen INVUX01), or with F6 on an empty Stock list — then the location, LPN and SKU of your search are already filled in.

  1. On Report Unexpected Stock, scan Location.
  2. Scan LPN if the stock has a pallet label. Otherwise press Enter.
  3. Scan SKU if you can read it. Otherwise press Enter. The report is sent.
  4. Reported shows {location} will be counted. Press Enter to go back.

The report never changes the stock. The location is always counted, and the report is kept on the location card, tab Checks (UnexpectedStock, Report: LPN … / SKU …).

What you should see​

  • A list that matches your filter.
  • On Position, the quantity you can use now is in ATP.

ATP (available to promise) is the quantity minus what is already allocated to orders and what is already picked. If a hold that blocks outbound work covers the position (by lot, location or pallet), ATP is 0. ATP is never below 0. The list shows ATP next to the quantity only when the two numbers differ.
