Inventory Status
The Inventory Status feature enables you to associate attributes to items to drive internal processes. For example, you can create an Inspection status for items that are pending quality control inspection.
You can also choose to make inventory associated with each status available or unavailable to be allocated to orders. For example, you can create an unavailable status of Damaged to associate with items that should not be sold.
Inventory Status on Pages, Records, Transactions
When you enter items on the following pages, records, and transactions, a Status field appears.
The Status field might appear on the transaction’s associated Inventory Detail subrecord. For more information about the Inventory Detail subrecord, see Inventory Detail Subrecord.

Inventory Status Assignment or Selection
The standard Good status is the default status assigned to your inventory if you do not create other statuses. When you create additional statuses, you can assign one when you receive an item, build an assembly, or adjust inventory. For existing inventory in your location, you can select the inventory status of available quantities that you want to add to a transaction. You cannot select the status of items with no available quantity or negative quantities, including component items and lot or serialized items.
For example, you enable the Inventory Status feature and create a transfer order for 12 quantities of Item Y. This item has 50 available quantities in your location. When you fulfill the order, you can assign a status to the 12 quantities that you want transfer to another location.
If you have existing transactions prior to enabling the feature, see Creating Inventory Status Records.
Inventory Status and Inventory Balances
On item lines of a transaction in edit mode, you can view the total on-hand quantity of an item in a location. In view or edit mode, you can view the available quantity based on any or all of the following inventory details: bin, inventory status, and lot or serial number. For more information about inventory quantities, see Assessing Stock Levels.
To track inventory balances and view negative quantities, see Tracking Inventory Balances By Status.
