How Is Scheduled Qty Avail Calculated in QTYAVAILBYCOMP Attribute for a Manufacture Item?

Release Date: 11/18/20
Version: 8.5 & Up

A - How is "Scheduled Qty Avail" calculated for a manufacturing item? See example below:


In the above example, since we didn't purchase this parent item directly, does it means we can promise customers that we will have enough components on 12/13/2020 so we can produce 26 of them?

Q - The answer is "YES" based on the current quantity availability of the components. But allocation for parents and components can change between now and 12/13/2020.  Below are the details. This MM item consists of the following components:

The component KBH8960DXC is the critical component now. But if you consider the fact that you are going to receive 60 of them on 12/13/20, then it is no longer the critical component on that date. Our schedule date thus is 12/13/20. On that date, item KBX8130* becomes the critical component which we expect to have 26 of at that time.

 Therefore, you can promise 26 on 12/13/2020 as of this moment.
