This includes:
Assemble By date
Sales Order Required date
Purchase Order Line ETA date
If the running count of stock on hand becomes negative, then the Stock Out Risk panel will list the product. Clicking on the AIM icon will load the forecast for that product and display the Booked Stock Movements chart.
Clicking on an item in the stock out risk panel will open that product forecast and display a timeline chart plotting open transactions to highlight the stock out risk:
