Inventory Transactions History
There is a shop order for 10 cooling systems. Instead of the cooling system identified on the shop order, you want to receive another cooling system (part 21-241, Cooling System, Off-road) as a substitute part because of a change in production causing an unforeseen need for the substitute part. Additionally, you will want to verify that the quantity in inventory for the substitute part increases by the receipt.
Site | Part Number | Description | Total Qty Available |
Your Site | 21-240 | Cooling System | |
Your Site | 21-241 | Cooling System, Off-road |
Note: When you receive a substitute part on a shop order, you do not have to receive the entire order quantity. You can receive partial quantities of the produced part's lot size, allowing you to receive both the standard part and the substitute part on the same shop order.
