Compute Material Requirements

Use the Compute Material Requirements screen to generate material requirement reports, as well as purchase requisitions, manufacturing orders, and inventory reservations.

You can also determine material availability for potential future jobs, plan new jobs, and check the status of existing jobs. Costpoint can check the current inventory availability for one project, a number of projects linked in a netting group, or all inventory projects. If an MO ID and project ID are the same during the creation process, the system will use the next MO ID in the sequence to ensure data integrity.

Note: During requisition generation, the preferred vendor must not be flagged as a payroll vendor, and its Approval Code must not be "Not Approved" or "Pending". The vendor's Vendor Status for PO must not be "On Hold".

Print this report whenever current inventory availability is required.

Attention: For more information, see the Production Control Special Topic PC-1, "Compute Material Requirements".
