Item Requirement

A request for items from the store: what, how much, for which site and warehouse, and by when. It moves no stock. The store picks it and issues against it.

Where

Item Requirement. It is not on the delivered Inventory menu; its lists are

Who uses it

A department, a production line, a project

When

When items are needed from the store

Needs first

A journal and movement for the kind of need

What it is for

It records internal demand in one place, so the store can pick it and the Item Requirement Tracking lists can show what is still open. An issue against it cannot be dated before the requirement.

The one rule people get wrong: a requirement cannot be deleted once issues or plans have been raised against it.
