The scope of inventory and order disbursement activities includes everything from simple order fulfillment, build to order fulfillment, to product inventory manufacturing runs. This encompasses everything from product construction definitions, manufacturing requirements planning, suggested inventory ordering, historical demand analysis, to automatic work order emission and execution tracking.

Enforcing the correct handling of the material within each fulfillment context requires a sophisticated level of configurability.

"Inventory" represents the collective reporting of all accountable assets with regard to quantity, packaging, location, condition, and disposition. This spans the times from inbound asset placement, staging, consolidation, repackaging, to outbound asset placement.

"Order Disbursement" represents all activities and information associated with accounting for order fulfillment. This spans the times from customer inquiry, customer quotation, customer order entry, customer order dispatch (which automatically yields material movement and material value added work order generation and scheduling), work order execution, to goods and/or services delivery. The resulting time/information matrix yields the "In Process Visibility" customers expect and accountability finance demands.

When used in conjunction with AMSTM, inbound material movement to inventory is seamless with order reconciliation implicitly performed as a result of TAVTM component integration.
