Web Services - Inventory Inquiry

 

When to Use

Use Inventory Inquiry to check supplier availability for a product right now (instead of relying on previously downloaded catalog data),

Before you Begin

• Your supplier must participate in Web Services Inventory Inquiry.
• You must be in a screen where the Web Services button is available (for example, when working with products, orders, or purchase orders).

Steps

1. Click the Web Services, . 
2. In the Web Services pop-up, select Inventory Inquiry.
3. Review the Supplier Stock and Inventory results window.

What You'll See in the Results

If inventory is available, the screen may display:

• Available Quantity (Avail Qty)
• Unit of Measure (UOM)
• Roll/Cut
• FOB Point and Shade/Dye Lot are optional fields

No Quantity is displayed if no stock is available.

Supplier Variation: Mohawk

Mohawk requires additional inputs before you submit the inquiry:

• Request Quantity
• Quantity Minimum
• UOM

Mohawk's response confirms the requested amount is available. It does not return the supplier's total available inventory.

Troubleshooting

• No quantity returned: the supplier response indicates no available stock.
• Missing fields or different layout: suppliers don't all return the same optional fields (FOB point, shade/dye lot, etc.).
