Handling Stock Shortage

Stock shortage is a common issue that businesses face, especially in manufacturing industries. It occurs when the demand for a product exceeds the available stock of materials or finished products.

In this document, we will focus on how to handle stock shortage, including the auto-creation of stock shortage post inventory check, selecting an alternate item to fulfill the shortage through deviation, fulfilling stock shortage through purchase requisition, fulfilling stock shortage through production order, and reserving inventory against the BOM line post fulfillment of stock shortage.
