Reporting Explained: Troubleshooting- Items Locked

Business Need: This report is helpful for customers who need to manage items that are locked due to being on a purchasing document. It also helps in locating the purchase order number for any item with an on-order quantity.

How it works: When an item is on a committed purchase order a user can not edit certain item information until the purchase order is either received or removed. This puts the items in a locked status. This report shows all items that are in a locked status and the associated purchasing document locking it.
