Question:   What reports or screens can we view to see the material status, so we can determine whether or not we can change the Sales Order Schedule Due Date in order to ship it earlier? 

Answer:  First check the Customer Order Status screen by customer PO and/or Sales Order number. From this screen you will be able to determine the status of any work order(s) in progress and if there are any shortages.

Second you may run a Kit Material Availability W/AVL Detail (Simulation) report, by product number and revision. This report will display the Quantity on Hand and the Quantity Available for each part used on that product.  

Third you can check the MRP status of the product for proposed work orders and purchase orders.  This will inform you if the scheduled delivery date (s) will be met.
