There is a mismatch between the confirmed receipt date and the system’s current stock receipt date (today), leading to planning inaccuracies.

This discrepancy causes underestimation of available stock, disrupting planning cycles and triggering unnecessary stock orders.

Clients are informed of stock issues while the stock is still with the supplier. They expect the system to reflect that the stock is unusable without canceling the order, which is not currently happening.

When changing the stock status to “quarantine inbound” to indicate unusable stock, which should trigger stock blocking.

We expect that the system should show a negative stock blocking entry on the expected receipt date. Instead, it creates a blocking entry for today, skewing stock reporting.

PG advised that when it comes to inventory status blocking, inventory status dimension should be part of coverage dimensions in order to exclude such transactions from planning. Otherwise, they will appear as 'Inventory journal' transaction in net requirements form. Also, as for the date, the 'Inventory journal' transactions are basically negative "Reserved ordered" transactions with "Inventory blocking" reference which are not order specific but instead grouped by multiple orders and therefore doesn't have any specific date. For these it is assumed that the date is current, just like the on-hand.

However, the use of the inventory status as a coverage dimension would defeat the purpose of it as then we'd be planning for blocked materials and the customer would like visibility of the stock, just with the correct dates to reflect it.
