Pending Shipments Inquiry
This form lets you review items that are expected to ship within a given time period (for example, in the next 7 days) and whether sufficient stock is available for the shipments.
The inquiry ignores orders that are on hold, and you can limit the inquiry to specific order types and to specific locations.
The inquiry also shows if open purchase orders exist for each item on order, and allows you to zoom into existing POs to check the quantities on order and the expected arrival dates.
