Inventory Inquiry
There are several variations of Inventory Inquiries. The more filters you use to search the more specific your search will be. These searches are not item specific. This means that even if you enter a complete item number other, very closely related, item numbers might also be included. For example, if you search on item number FAW 2222 5, results for item number FAW 2222 56 might also be included.

Inquiring across Multiple Warehouses using the Warehouse Matrix
If the Warehouse Matrix file is activated (*MX is entered in the DFT Search Warehouse field of the User's Web Control Panel path: NAV 5, Option "Y"), several warehouses can be displayed on an Inventory Inquiry.
Default Inquiry
The default inquiry is by warehouse and lot.
In this inquiry:
- Only the manufacturer portion of the item number was entered.
- A warehouse is identified in the Warehouse field so the results are only for that warehouse.
- If a warehouse was not specified, the inquiry would be across all the warehouses you have access to.
- The results are sorted by Lot number.
A default inquiry with serial number inquiry
Including a serial number search allows the system to drill down further.
A serial number of Future or BO means the inventory is on order, but has not yet been received and/or assigned a serial number.
Location Inquiry
A location inquiry is limited to the specified warehouse. If a warehouse is not entered, the default warehouse, as set in the Control Panel, is used.
Inventory Inquiry Display Options
This functionality provides the ability to arrange the information displayed in an Inventory Inquiry. Although useful for everyone, this enhancement was implemented for our slab customers so they could move the length and width information closer to the slab serial number.
- Access Navigator Inventory Inquiry and enter an item; in this example it is a slab item.
- Click the Display Options icon in the upper right hand corner of the window to display the following options.
- Select the fields you want to display in the Inventory Inquiry.
- You can re-sequence the fields by clicking them and dragging them to a new position. In this example, length and width were moved to be right after the serial number.
