You can view potential shortages of items for which there is an outstanding demand in the organization. (You configure the work orders to be considered as unsatisfied demand in the shortage parameters.)

Prerequisites

• You must define the shortage parameters, as well as the transaction action types and items that will trigger shortage alerts and notifications

   To view potential shortages:

1. Navigate to the View Potential Shortages window. The Find Potential Shortages window appears.

2. Enter search criteria. The View Potential Shortages window appears, displaying a summary of the shortage.

3. Select the Detail button to see detailed shortage information about a particular item.

4. Select the Supply/Demand button to see supply and demand information about a particular item.

   Note: Potential shortages for jobs and schedules display only when the starting date on the work order or schedule exists in the manufacturing calendar.
