Before you set up material status codes, you need to identify the transaction types to restrict.
Navigate to the Material Status Definition window.
Enter a name and a description for the material status.
Verify that the Enabled check box is selected. Deselect the Enabled check box if you do not want to use the material status.
Note: You cannot disable a material status that the system currently uses. Verify the material status is correct before using it in transactions.
Select Allow Reservations. If you select this check box, then you can view material associated with this status in the Item Reservations window. You can create a reservation against the material, and the system includes it in the available to reserve calculations. See Item Reservations for more information.
Select Include in ATP if you want material associated with this status to be eligible for available to promise. The system then includes material with this material status in available to promise calculations.
Select Nettable to include material that is associated with this material status with main planning.
Note: You cannot apply a status that is non-reservable, non-nettable, or non-ATPable to serials.
Indicate whether this status is used at the subinventory, locator, lot, serial, or on-hand level. Consider the following uses:
Subinventory: For example, if you select subinventory, the system enables you to assign the material status at the subinventory level.
On-hand: Enables checking of material status at the on-hand level.
In the Allowed Transaction column, select a transaction that you want to disallow and click the greater than button. To move a transaction from the Disallowed Transactions column to the Allowed Transactions column, select the transaction, and click the less than button.
Repeat the previous step to disallow additional transaction types.
Save your work.
