The availability control ID is connected to inventory part in stock records and is used for determining availability. This functionality is useful, for example, to perform a modification or a test before using or selling the part. It can also be used when a part is being taken out of stock.
If an availability control ID is already connected to an inventory part in stock record, you can change the connection or completely remove it. If the inventory part in stock record does not have a connection, you can make a new one. When you enter an availability control ID for an inventory part in stock record, it is valid from that moment forward. This means that demands and purchase orders that are already entered will not be affected.
Availability control can also be applied for a handling unit and then all the inventory part in stock records connected to that handling unit ID inherit the applied availability control ID.
