Validate inventory (IN505000)
You use this window to recalculate the quantities of stock items available at warehouses. The validation process entails recalculating availability data for the selected stock items, based on all open inventory documents and open sales orders. For more information, see: About availability calculation.
It is recommended that you perform the validation after you change the item availability calculation options. The system will recalculate the item availability and allocation data in accordance with the options selected most recently. The validation process doesn’t update the cost layers.
In this window, you can view the list of the stock items available at a particular warehouse and perform validation for all items available at the warehouse or for only the selected ones.
If, during the validation process, the system recovers available quantities of specific stock items, it attempts to open orders with the Back order status created for these items. Starting from the earliest back order, the system checks the quantity on the order. If the quantity is equal to or less than the recovered quantity, the system opens the order and switches to the next back order until either all recovered quantities are applied or all back orders are checked.
