What is on hand, right now
Ask a warehouse what it holds and MB52 answers for this second only. The owned overview answers from landed history: 11,000 units across four locations, 1,842,000.00 at moving average, tied to the roll-forward and kept for every month end.
◆ On hand, 31 Mayfour locations, units and value.
| Storage location | Units | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 0001, raw materials | 6,200 | 986,000.00 |
| 0002, finished goods | 3,600 | 612,000.00 |
| 0003, quality inspection | 850 | 178,500.00 |
| 0004, returns | 350 | 65,500.00 |
| Plant 2100 | 11,000 | 1,842,000.00 |
The units total is the roll-forward’s closing and the aging’s population. Value is units at moving average from the valuation table, which is why the slow-moving page can price its write-down proposal from the same rows. Sample values are illustrative, never client data.
◆ The delivered view and its edgesMB52 answers now, only now.
MB52 is the right spot check and the wrong pack source: it reads the live system, so ten minutes later it answers differently, and it cannot say what was on hand last month end. The landed history serves the pack, the trend, and the as-of question MB52 cannot.
