Hello!

I see that there are two fields naming Product Inventory ID and Parent Inventory ID on 'Inventory planning Results by Item' screen.

Can someone please explain me the difference?

 

Thank You

Parent Inventory ID – the immediate parent/assembly that directly requires the material.
Product Inventory ID – the top-level finished product that ultimately drives the requirement.

So, Parent Inventory ID = immediate BOM parent, while Product Inventory ID = top-level product creating the demand.

Hello ​@apallawala22 ,

Product Inventory ID

  • This is the actual item being planned.
  • It’s the item whose demand, supply, and projected quantities you are viewing in the planning results.

Parent Inventory ID

  • This is the item that requires the current item as a component.
  • It appears when the item is used as a material or subassembly in another item (for example in a BOM or production order).

Hope this helps.
