Production Floor Management > Material availability check does not consider On-hand inventory at some locations

When I run the material availability check > production orders to release > production floor management, some POs show as not ready to release although we have inventory of all BOM components in the required Warehouse. I'm trying to understand what might be causing this behavior - is it a bug or some setting that needs to be updated in d365.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Mayukh,

Here are a few potential reasons for this behavior:

Allocation: Check if the inventory is allocated to other orders or reservations. In D365, inventory can be allocated to specific orders or reservations, which may prevent it from being available for the production order you are trying to release. You can review the allocations and make adjustments if necessary.

Reservation Hierarchy: D365 allows you to define reservation hierarchies, which determine the priority of reservations for inventory. If there are other reservations with higher priority than your production order, the inventory may not be available for release. Verify the reservation hierarchy setup and adjust it if needed.

Warehousing Parameters: Review the parameters related to inventory management and warehouse setup. There might be specific settings or configurations that affect the availability check and release process. Pay attention to parameters such as reservation strategies, batch allocation rules, or picking strategies.

Quality Management: If you have quality management enabled in D365, it's possible that the inventory you have on hand is not considered suitable for the production order due to quality control requirements. Check if there are any quality-related issues or inspections that need to be completed before the inventory can be used.

Inventory Transactions: Ensure that all inventory transactions, such as receiving, picking, or movement, have been processed correctly and are reflected accurately in the system. Inaccurate or missing inventory transactions can cause availability check discrepancies.

Lead Times: Consider the lead times associated with the BOM components. If the lead times are not properly set up or if there are delays in receiving the components, it can affect the availability check. Verify that the lead times are accurately defined for the items in question.
