What are your thoughts on having Sales Prepared added to the Availability Calculation in a environment where inventory is high turn ?   

Deduct Qty. on Sales Prepared A check box you select to deduct (for items of the class) the quantities of items on sales orders of the SO, CS, and IN types with the On Hold, Credit Hold, Rejected, and Pending Approval statuses from the available quantities of these items. The item’s quantity on sales orders with these statuses is shown in the SO Prepared box on the Inventory Allocation Details (IN402000) form.

The field “Quantity Hard Available” which is also called “Quantity Available to Ship” is the true qty available in the system. This is the qty physically available in that location or warehouse.

This is the field that is most useful to shipping managers and shipping clerks who need to get orders out the door. 

Quantity available which is defined by the availability calculation rules I believe is more useful to inventory managers and folks who do the ordering/production as it considers current demand as well as replenishment. In most cases I would include SO prepared as represents the total demand for the inventory in the system. Including this additional availability rule I believe helps the inventory manager in most cases as it shows a better picture of the total demand.
