Split Usage Quantity feature

If you require a quantity of inventory items that exceeds the amount that is stored in a single storage bin, you can split the inventory usage line across multiple bins to meet the required quantity.

When the default bin does not contain a sufficient quantity of items to satisfy the quantity on the inventory usage line, you can create a single inventory usage line to request items from multiple storage bins. When the inventory usage record is complete, multiple transactions are initiated to source the items from the locations you specified. The split usage quantity feature initiates different behavior for rotating items and for non-rotating items.

Non-rotating items
When the quantity in a storage bin does not meet the required quantity on the inventory usage line, the split usage quantity feature is activated. The feature is triggered when the status of the record changes to Staged, Shipped, or Complete. When you are prompted, you must specify the additional bins to source the items from in the Split Usage Quantity window. You can either click New Row or Auto-Split. You can also modify the original usage line quantity, or cancel this process.
Rotating items
All rotating item usage lines that have a quantity of more than one must be split, as each usage line can contain only one rotating asset. You can select from a list of rotating items to meet the required quantity on the inventory usage line. The total quantity must be less than or equal to the quantity on the corresponding usage line. You can also automatically add rotating items to the record by clicking Auto-Split.

Auto-Split feature

You can eliminate the manual process of selecting multiple storage bins or individual rotating assets, by selecting Auto-Split from the Split Usage Quantity window.

The Auto-Split feature checks the following item attributes and assigns the available stocked items:
