Item - Able to Make (Timeline) Report
Shows how five different key availability figures change over time for a BOM item. These figures change according to expected supply and demand events and to supply that is based on available components that can be assembled or produced.
You can use the report to see whether you can fulfill a sales order for an item on a specified date by looking at its current availability in combination with the potential quantities that its components can supply if an assembly order were started. The report shows you when and how many units of an assembly and production item you can make based on component availability and the item’s current availability. This is shown as the total quantity.
The information is shown in a graph where each availability figure is a line that progresses along the timeline and moves up and down as quantities change. The quantity figures come from the same engine that provides information to the Item Availability by BOM Level window.
The following quantity lines are shown in the graph.
