Background: Inventory Status Inquiry

Use the Inventory Status Inquiry (ISQ) program to display an item's current on-hand, on-order, intransit, committed, obligated, available, and in consignment quantities, sources of supply, types of demand, quantities of substitute items, or family components. See Road Map for work flow.

You can display a window of additional item attributes on the standard screen with Q-Info.

Caution
If you display status information for an item and then on another screen run a program (for example, Sales Order Maintenance (OE) that affects inventory for that same item, when you return to the Inventory Status Inquiry screen the change will not be reflected. You need to exit and restart the Inventory Status Inquiry program.

This topic has these subtopics:

Scope

Scope determines which totals display in the upper-right corner of the first screen. If your scope is set to Local Branch, these totals are for your login branch. If your scope is set to Branch Group, the totals are for all branches in the inventory group associated with your branch. If scope is set to Enterprise, the totals are for your entire enterprise.

To change your scope, Click Prog opts and set the Scope for inventory quantities program option to E for enterprise, M for manufacturing branch, G for branch group, B for your branch only, or S for user selected branch or group. When you change your scope setting, you may see different totals.

For example, suppose that your enterprise consists of four branches with these on-hand inventory totals for an item:

Branch	On-hand Inventory
BR-1	20
BR-2	30
BR-3	10
BR-4	40

Assume that your local branch is BR-1 and that BR-1 and BR-2 comprise your branch group. The on-hand totals that display for each of these scope settings would be:

Scope	On-hand Inventory
Local Branch	20
Branch Group	50
Enterprise	100

Selection Options

Scope does not affect the data that displays on any other Inventory Status Inquiry screen. You can use the Branch or Branch grp selection option to control which branches display on other screens. To change your selection option, Click Prog opts and in the Branch or branch grp field select the branch you want to display or enter a branch group to display data from all branches in that group.

Note
The branch that you enter must be in the inventory group associated with your login branch or be selected for the Inventory group override field in your record in the User Maintenance (UIM) program. Likewise, the branch group that you enter must be the inventory group for your login branch or your inventory group override unless the Allow branch group override? field is selected in your record in the User Maintenance program.
