Needs attention now

  • Open flags across the Block.
  • Stock below zero: a facility recorded more going out than came in. Usually an entry is missing or late (for example a consignment entered before the intake). Ask the facility manager.
  • On the way for more than 2 days: consignments not yet received.
  • PWM units with no period finalised in 45 days.
