Shortages
Components that are not available for an order.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
The shortages board shows production orders that cannot proceed because a component is missing, with the quantity short. From it you can request replenishment, which creates a material request in Purchase so procurement can act on it.
When to use shortages
- You chase missing materials before releasing orders.
Step by step
In the Manufacturing module open Production in the green navigation bar, then choose Shortages under Materials.
