The current system display logic can cause confusion by showing parts as available for a task even when the actual inventory is zero. This happens because the system combines general stock with parts tied to Purchase Orders (POs) when calculating availability. As a result, users may mistakenly believe a part is in stock and usable, when in reality it is not.
Current Limitations
- Misleading Availability: Parts with zero inventory still appear available for use on tasks.
- Combined Stock Display: The system merges general stock and PO stock without distinguishing between them.
- User Confusion: Technicians may assume they can allocate parts immediately when they cannot.
