Plus WO - Alert when production causes negative quantity on hand.
I suggest to add a Production Qty event where admin users can subscribe. When the scanned qty is going to cause the qty on hand become negative, send an email to admin users if they subscribe to this event. Maybe we can do it in addition to Plus WO for Material and Legacy as well. This is to tell the admin that there’s inventory problem and he/she should address it. In the meantime, we do not stop the production. To avoid complicate programming issue, I suggest to trigger this event at time of posting production transaction. My thinking is this event will have the following variables:
Event Type: COMPQOHI
Description: Component Qty OH Availability by Item
1. Item Number
2. Item Description 1 + 2
3. Product Category
4. User Defined Code
5. Production Order Number
6. Qty On Hand
7. Excess Qty (OH – Allocated + BO)
8. Production Qty
9. OH Qty After Production
10. Excess Qty After Production
