This panel displays the matrix combinations for the matrix base item and the available quantity for the item that matches the matrix combination in the warehouse. (You can click the prompt icon (green arrow) in every matrix cell to access the Time axis enquiry for the item in the matrix cell.)
If the DC1 Multi Distribution Centre (MDC) application is activated and the matrix base item has been set up for MDC (even though it will never appear on any MDC orders), the MDC availability function key will be available which you can click to view the available quantity for the main MDC supplier for each item. The sub-title of the panel differs as follows depending on what mode you are in:
- Item matrix, Warehouse availability
- Item matrix, MDC availability
Enter the applicable quantities for the matrix items required and click OK to register the purchase order lines. One purchase order line will be created for each combination against which a quantity was entered and you will return to the Order lines panel.
