The Low Inventory grid provides a comprehensive view of components potentially requiring purchase orders. Selecting a component type opens a detailed view with sorting and search features. For assistance with Grid Sorting, click here.
Important Note: The Low Inventory grid only displays components or ingredients with insufficient stock on hand, quarantined, or on order. A component/ingredient will not appear if the sum of quarantined, on-hand, and on-order quantities exceeds the committed amount. For details on the “On Order” calculation, refer to the relevant column below.
