Shall quantities available in the corporate or FIM warehouses reduce the quantity to be quoted?
If you want quantities that are available in the corporate or FIM warehouses to be taken into account when creating inquiries, you must set this project default.
Per default (value = N), quantities in these warehouses have no effect on the quantity placed on an inquiry.
If this project default is set to Y, the quantity on the inquiry is reduced by the quantities in these warehouses. This means the inquiry will only contain the remaining quantity for which you need a quote. This can lead to quotes that only contain parts of the requisition and not all released lines if some positions are completely covered by corporate or FIM warehouse quantities.
Although the quantity on the inquiry is reduced, these quantities remain in the warehouses.
If you do not block them more or less immediately by creating an agreement for the
corporate or FIM warehouses, you run the risk that the quantities will be used by
someone else in the meantime. In that case, you must go through the inquiry cycle
for the remaining quantities or create an agreement for a real supplier.
