For accurate Theoretical Inventory Counts and Prices, Inventory Item definitions and linking within the Inventory Module must be maintained. The Inventory Alerts page is used to view and repair any errors within the Inventory Module. 
 

Often an error with a single new or mis-linked Purchase Item, Inventory Item, or Receive Unit will create multiple alerts. Resolving these three alerts in this order is the most efficient way to solve the underlying error, and frequently clears most other alerts present. 

1. Unassigned Vendor Purchase Item
2. Receive Units Pending Review
3. Vendor Purchase Item Conversion 

The remaining alerts can be addressed in any order:
 

• Inventory Item Conversion
• Storage Location
• Quick Cost
• Taking Unit
• VPIs Without Receive Units
• VPIs Pending Review
• Bad AP Prices
• Inventory Items with no GL Code assigned
