Reading the Report Total Available = Nettable Quantity On-hand + On Order - Open Demand, where Nettable Quantity On-hand is nettable quantity in the subinventory specified.

On Order is the sum of open purchase orders, requisitions, and internal orders and shipments scheduled for receipt prior to or on the Supply Cutoff Date. Orders referencing other subinventories, or with no subinventory specified, are not included if the report is run for a subinventory. Open Demand is the sum of open sales orders scheduled to ship prior to or on the

Demand Cutoff Date. Sales order demand referencing other subinventories, or without a specified subinventory, are not included if the report is run for a subinventory. If Total Available < Minimum Quantity, suggest a new order, where Minimum Quantity is the value for the Min-Max Minimum Quantity item attribute.

Order Quantity = Maximum Quantity - Total Available, adjusted for order quantity modifiers: Oracle Inventory revises the order quantity if necessary for the quantity to be a multiple of the fixed lot size multiplier. The order quantity must be greater than or equal to the minimum quantity, or Oracle Inventory revises the quantity upward to the minimum. The order quantity must be less than or equal to the maximum quantity, or Oracle Inventory revises the quantity down to the maximum.
