The Inventory Control System Defaults category contains the default adjustment codes for system-generated adjustments, the automatic close M.O. flag, the firm picker print flag, and the firm M.O. print flag. This category is required by the system.
The system will generate adjustments if:
- The part is costed using moving average costs.
- The system is unable to compute an average (e.g., the inventory value is negative but the inventory balance is positive).
The adjustment serves to align the inventory balance and value so that an average cost can be computed. The automatic close M.O. flag is defaulted to the function.
The firm picker print flag determines whether pickers will be printed for firmed orders. The firm M.O. print flag determines whether firm manufacturing orders will be printed.
This category has a blank key to allow only one record.

This screen assigns the system-generated adjustments (both positive and negative adjustments are defined), defines the default Automatic Close MO flag, defines whether or not firmed orders and firmed manufacturing orders will be printed, and indicates whether or not multiple location backflushing can occur.
SYSTEM GENERATED ADJUSTMENTS - POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
Required. Used to define the adjustment codes that will be used in generating positive and negative system generated adjustments. The codes must defined on the Reference File category 432 and must be defined with Update Part Statistics flag = Y (yes).
AUTOMATIC CLOSE MO FLAG
Required. Used by the MO Receipts program as a screen default value. Must be either 'Y' (yes) or 'N' (no).
FIRM PICKER PRINT
Required. This field defines whether or not pickers will be printed for firmed orders. Valid values are Y (yes) and N (no).
FIRM M.O. PRINT
Required. This field is used to define whether or not firm manufacturing orders will be printed. Valid values are Y (yes) and N (no).
BALANCE-TO-ISSUE TOLERANCE PERCENT
Required. Used to define the percentage under which a component requirement issue quantity can be automatically set equal to the required quantity. The tolerance percent defines the minimum amount that can remain unissued and still prevent the manufacturing order receipts and issues programs (IC130E and IC135E) from setting the issued quantity to be equal to the required quantity for the component requirement. If the required quantity minus the issued quantity (including any issue transaction currently being processed) is less than the tolerance percent (up to 3 percent decimal places multiplied by the required quantity), then the programs will update the issued quantity to be equal to the required quantity. The tolerance percent must be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to 100.00. You may define very small percentages, such as .01 (as 00010). For reversal transactions, if the remaining quantity after the reversal is within the tolerance percent, then the component requirement issue quantity will be set to zero.
MULTIPLE LOCATION BACKFLUSHING
Required. This field determines whether or not multiple location backflushing can occur. Valid values are 'Y' (yes) and 'N' (no). If flag is set to 'Y', multiple location backflushing will be enabled. If flag is set to 'N', standard SIR processing will be used.
Multiple location backflushing allows increased flexibility in processing manufacturing orders. This processing allows you to assign several locations from which inventory for component parts can be relieved. If you choose not to use multiple location backflushing, inventory will be relieved from the location defined on the Part Master file for the particular component.
