::Hi Blaine,
Regarding the PO quantities on the shortage report – You need to pay attention to your dates on the production orders and the dates on the purchase order.
If I put in a purchase order for a component required for manufacturing with an expected date of today (3/22), and create a production order for one of the components with a due date of 3/1 – the report won’t pick up the open PO quantity.
If I go to my PO and update the expected receipt date onto my PO line to 2/29, the quantity displays on the report.
The expected receipt date of the PO needs to be < the due date on the production order.
