The Inventory Inquiry feature gives you valuable Inventory information on one screen.

The history is displayed by Location showing Source & Cost, Standard Pack, Warehouse Cost, Quantity on Hand, Quantity on Order, Due Date of Order, Order Level, Stock Level, Popularity Code, Sales History and Purchasing History.

The information will be the Part Number, Creation Date, Description, Notes, Group Code, Alternate Number, Taxable Indicator, Status, Case Lot, Item Type, Superseded By, Superseding Number, Total Quantity on Hand, Total Quantity on Hold, and Total Quantity on Order.

When placing an Order on Hold during "POS Order Entry" in POINT OF SALE (1.1) whether a DI (Debit Invoice) or a TI (Transfer Invoice), all items will increment the Quantity on Hold (QHD) in the Inventory file. The Quantity on Hold is already downcounted from the Quantity on Hand.

The QOH of each Alternate Part Number will be displayed. Enter the number of the Alternate Part Number to change the Part Number to, and press <ENTER>.
