Configure the Inventory control

You use the Inventory control to show the current inventory status of a given entity. You can also transfer in, transfer out, and reclassify inventory at a given location.

When you use the Inventory control in a System Platform symbol, you can associate it with the Button Bar control. For more information, see Associate the Button Bar control with other controls.

The operator can use the Inventory control to:

• Transfer inventory from another entity to the selected storage location. This is referred to as "transfer in."

• Transfer inventory from the selected entity to another storage location. This is referred to as "transfer out."

• Change the grade and status of the selected lot. This is referred to as "reclassify."

• Remove all or some of the items from the inventory of the selected storage location. This is referred to as "scrap."

• Add, remove, and change the attributes of the selected lot.

• Filter parameters to limit the view of the Inventory control.

• Refresh the Inventory control.

• Switch the active user.

• Show the attributes of the selected lot.

• Receive inventory from an external location.

• Transfer serial numbers.

• Open or launch a form, if the Path to Form Program system parameter is set.

The Inventory control corresponds to the Inventory tab of the MES Operator application. For more information, see the Inventory Tab section in the MES Operator Guide or MES online help.

You can also use the properties of the Inventory control to allow selection of multiple rows, show an entity tree, show the storage entity status grid, and set the icon size.
