Product Availability Report


Inventory Control Menu -> Reports -> Product Availability Report

Reports Menu -> Automatic Reporting -> Function RSRQ25 -> runs Product Availability Report


This report sorts by product Group and provides information by location of the quantity "On Hand", "On Rent", "Other", and "Available" as of the current or a future date based on the Requirements records.

The On Hand value is calculated from the inventory location file (RSIL), whereas the other columns are calculated from the requirements file (RSRQ).
There are various configuration parameters for requirements that could cause the values to not add up, so looking at the Product Availability/Bookings Inquiry and the 'Product Quantity On Hand' window in Rental Inventory or Sales Inventory will explain the reflected values.

Also because the requirement records are date sensitive, the counts "On Rent" and "Other" (on Reservation, Transfers, Sales Orders, etc) for products, may not match the count for the same products in the drill down Locations window on the "On Hand" field in Rental Inventory and Sales Inventory, as this window includes any future dated Contracts, Reservations, etc. as well.

Note: Records will be generated to reflect any product in the selection range that has a quantity on hand or has a quantity committed as listed in the Inventory Locations Quantity window that affects requirements.
If a product has no quantity on hand and no quantity on a document that affects requirements, then that product will not be reflected on the report.

Filters can be used to report on a range of locations, for products in a Group selection, or products using Reporting Sets. All products, or just Rental equipment, or just Sales parts, or only products flagged as inventory, can be included.
Product detail is optional.

This information can also be run automatically with the spreadsheet output emailed to staff by setting up RSRQ25 with the relevant filters and email addresses in the Automatic Reporting.
