Usage

Use this window to view the planning information for a part controlled by your company. Therefore, the customer owned and supplier loaned material is not included. General planning data for the part is displayed in the header area. Detailed planning data as well as supply and demand information, is found on the tabs. To view the supply and demand situation for a project, you can search for the project specific part with the relevant Project ID. You can also able to view the supply and demand situation of all the projects and standard inventory for the part by searching with the Hash (#) symbol in the Project ID field. Click Visualization View to view and take actions on the data in a diagrammatic form.

Note that if you search for a specific part number and site only, the system will return as many records as there are open projects for the given site, irrelevant of the part number. If an asterisk is displayed in the Project ID field, it indicates that the parts belong to standard inventory.
