Examples

The item has stock, but production says there is nothing to issue. The header separates the four figures for exactly this case: In Stock is what is physically there, Committed is what other documents have already claimed, Ordered is what is still coming, and Available is In Stock − Committed + Ordered. Reserved sits next to them and is Beas's own figure: the quantity tied to work order reservations. An item with 40 in stock, 40 committed and 40 reserved is full and untouchable at the same time — the stock is there, but every unit belongs to something.

A manufactured item that never turns up in planning. Work down the Advanced Production tab in order. Breakdown decides how the item behaves when it is a component: a Phantom Assembly Group is never planned in its own right. Release Production is what allows it to be produced at all. Lot Size / Production and the scrap table set the quantities that get planned. Then press Bill of Materials and Routing in the header — until the item has both, it is manufactured on paper but never appears in Material Requirements.

Whether the item counts as manufactured or purchased comes from SAP, not from this page, and it decides what you see here: the Calculation group and several Manufacturing Data fields only appear on a manufactured item.
