• The task is out of parts (parts on hand and parts on order are less than required quantity for task).

• Attention on parts (all other problems associated with parts).

• [item number] is required for task (part is required, but the work order is not related to a part order).

• Insufficient inventory but currently on order (quantity on hand is less than quantity required; parts are on order).

• [task ID] not scheduled due to parts (a higher-priority task used all the available parts).
