Establishing the Quantity On-Hand and the Quantity Available.

LX maintains buckets for information associated with the following inventory transactions for each item:

• Opening Balance
• Issues
• Receipts
• Adjustments
• Allocations for the Customer
• Allocations for Manufacturing

The on hand quantity does not include any allocations. To arrive at the on hand quantity, start with the opening balance, less any issues, plus any receipts, then add or subtract any adjustments. Available inventory is the on-hand less any allocations.

Here are some issues that you might run into if you stay on an old porting set too long:

• Incompatibility because of operating system patches
• Printing issues because of out-of-date libraries
• Potential performance issues if binaries are not updated
• Updating third party products may not be possible because of dependencies
• Limited support from Infor
• Issues with updating database software/patches because of dependencies (if database is also running on same server as application)

Need help getting on a newer porting set? Let us know! We’d be happy to help.
