Coverage of demanded article

By Coverage you can control availability of selected goods. Form, that displays the coverage of article, can be activated by Shift+F5 keys in the Articles book and on items of purchase, sale and stock documents. The coverage displays article stocks level, all undo-confirmed purchase and sale documents which have got influence on the future stock movements and further the undo-confirmed documents of the transfer notes and the job cards. We can monitor a level of coverage in the "Level" column.

If the Coverage is activated from the goods, than the coverage for current goods will display. If the Coverage is activated from an item of a document, the coverage for goods of this item will display. For displaying a coverage of a product of a job card, it is possible to run Coverage directly on the 1st page of a job card.

The coverage is displayed for an information stock and plan type, which is set by user. You can display coverage in a selected stock unit too.

Minimum/maximum quantity and further all types "assigned" don't influence ongoing state of article (the column "Status"). But a status, which counts with minimum quantity, can be displayed by adding the "Status - Min" ("CFAboveMin") column.
