SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up Manufacturing Cloud inventory tracking and the Inventory Search and Transfer experience involves a complex data model (ProductItem, ProductTransfer, SerializedProduct, and more) plus a multi-step search configuration that fails silently when the DPE refresh is missed. This Skill provides the data model map, setup sequence, hard rules, SOQL queries, and troubleshooting guidance needed to implement and diagnose inventory management correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Data Model Guidance: Maps the full inventory object hierarchy including ProductItem, ProductItemTransaction, ProductBatchItem, SerializedProduct, ProductTransfer, Shipment, ProductRequired, ProductConsumed, and ReturnOrder. - Inventory Search Setup: Walks through the seven-step configuration of Criteria-Based Search and Filter, including searchable object configuration, criteria/result field mapping, and the Product Inventory Searchable Field DPE. - Troubleshooting Cheatsheet: Diagnoses common failures such as empty search results, stale data, transfers not updating quantities, and inconsistent serialized product states. - Use Case: An admin configures Inventory Search and Transfer, but the search component returns no results. The Skill identifies that the Product Inventory Searchable Field DPE was never run and provides the exact activation and scheduling steps. ## Quick Start Ask how to set up Inventory Search and Transfer in Manufacturing Cloud or why a product transfer did not update quantity on hand.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Inventory Search and Transfer in Manufacturing Cloud?

Configure the searchable object as ProductInventorySearchableField, map criteria and result fields, create the Search Action and Search Criteria configurations, then run the Update Product Inventory Searchable Field Values DPE. Without running the DPE, search returns no results.

Why does Manufacturing Cloud inventory search return no results?

The most common cause is that the Product Inventory Searchable Field DPE has never been run, or the search component is not linked to the Search Criteria Configuration. Schedule the DPE to run regularly to avoid stale results.

Why didn't my ProductTransfer update quantity on hand?

ProductTransfer only updates source and destination ProductItem quantities when its Status is set to Completed. For serialized goods, ProductTransferState records must also be created or serial state becomes inconsistent.

What objects make up the Manufacturing Cloud inventory data model?

The core objects are ProductItem (quantity at location), ProductItemTransaction (auto audit log), ProductBatchItem, SerializedProduct, ProductTransfer, Shipment, ProductRequired, ProductConsumed, and ReturnOrder with its line items and adjustments.

Does this skill cover inventory allocation or physical counts?

No. Allocation and reservation against ProductItem are handled by the mfg-inventory-allocation module, and physical counts with variance are handled by the inventory-count module. This skill covers the data model, search, and transfers.
