The Material Tab

Here you can see a material list of the incorporated material for the operation selected in the priority plan, showing miscellaneous information about the material. Just like for the priority plan, there are several columns that can be rearranged so that only the most important ones are shown in the window. You can move the columns and change their width by using your mouse in the heading row. The new layout is saved via the Info menu.

The material list provides detailed information about the operation, and is very useful when determining which operations should be priority planned. By comparing the available balance with the planned quantity and cleared quantity, if any, you can determine if there is sufficient material available.

The feature called Show only shortage material under the Info menu will have the material list only show the material that does not have a sufficiently large balance. You may need to check a Part Info in order to see when the material is supposed to arrive.

In the Info menu you will find the alternative Filter that can be used to only show operations that contain the same material. Use the arrow keys to browse through the priority plan, and check the material list at the same time.

The material row table is the same as the material row table in the Order Info procedure in the Manufacturing module.
