You can check and see whether an item you need to fulfill an order is in stock, and if it is not, when the item will be in stock. In addition, if an item is available to reserve, then you can reserve it to make sure it is available for your use.
To check item availability for job orders
In the Search box, enter Jobs, and then choose the related link.
Select the job you want, and on the Home tab, in the Process group, choose Job Task Lines.
In the Job Task Lines window, on the Home tab, in the Process group, choose Job Planning Lines.
In the Job Planning Lines window, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Demand Overview.
This launches the calculation of item availability related to the job. The Demand Overview window opens.
To see demand associated with all job orders, set the Demand Type field to Job. To see demand associated with all order types, set Demand Type to All Demand.
In the Start Date and End Date fields, specify the time period for which you want to calculate demand. If you do not provide values in these fields, then all demand is calculated.
On the Home tab, choose Calculate.
In the Demand Overview window, expand the item grouping, and view information about the availability of the item. For example, you can see how many items are in inventory. You can also see whether and when an item will be available. If an item is back ordered, for example, the Source Type field is set to Purchase. You can also see if an item has been reserved.
