Decision and scope
Planning needs separate physical, reserved, blocked and available stock. Document when each value updates and which system owns reservation decisions. A positive balance does not guarantee usable material: it may belong to another order, await inspection or use a different unit from the demand being planned.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: there are one hundred components, sixty reserved and ten blocked. Operational availability is thirty before any further constraints. An order needing forty pieces requires an alternative or another receipt. Show the reservation and hold rather than presenting the physical hundred as a sufficient commitment to execute the order.
Acceptance check
Test released reservations, late consumption records and simultaneous requests. Prevent two orders from being promised the same units. Accept the connection when the plan explains the availability calculation, retains its update time and revalidates material before confirming an action that depends on that inventory.
Key takeaways
- Accept the connection when the plan explains the availability calculation, retains its update time and revalidates material before confirming an action that depends on that inventory.
