# Get to know impact workspace

The **Impact Workspace** contains the following main areas:

- An action pane at the top
- An ECO line list in the left pane
- Impact details for the selected ECO line in the right pane

The right pane organizes affected records by transaction type and provides supported corrective actions.

## Action pane

The action pane provides commands for calculating and managing ECO impact.

| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Edit** | Makes supported fields in the ECO line list and detail pane editable |
| **Calculate all** | Starts a batch calculation for all ECO lines and displays the calculation progress |
| **Change lifecycle state** | Opens the **Change lifecycle state** pane for the product on the selected ECO line |
| **Change log** | Opens the **Change log** page. It lists the actions taken in the workspace for the selected ECO line, with the old and new values. For more information, see [Track actions in the change log](/manufacturing/docs/track-actions-in-the-change-log-impact-workspace). |
| **Options** | Opens the Options tab, which provides the standard page commands grouped under Personalize (Always open for editing, Personalize this page), Page options (Security diagnostics, Advanced filter or sort, Record info), and Share (Create a custom alert, Manage my alerts). |
| **Search** | Searches the ECO line list |

## ECO line list

The left pane displays the lines included in the ECO. Each line shows the item number, change state, and calculation state.

When you select an ECO line, the workspace automatically calculates or loads its impact details in the right pane.

The change state indicates whether the line contains a change. Example values include **Changed** and **Unchanged**.

The calculation state indicates the progress or result of the impact calculation.

| Calculation state | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Not calculated** | The impact hasn’t been calculated |
| **Calculating** | The calculation is in progress |
| **Calculated** | The calculation is complete, and the impact count is displayed |
| **No impact** | The calculation is complete, but no affected records were found |

## Impact sections

When you select an ECO line, the right pane displays information about the line and its affected records.

The workspace groups the records by transaction type. Each section provides relevant details and supported corrective actions. For instructions about these actions, see the Tasks chapter.

Each section has a **Dimensions** button that lets you choose which dimension columns the grid shows. For more information, see [Choose which dimensions to display](/manufacturing/docs/choose-which-dimensions-to-display-impact-workspace).

Each action you take in a section is recorded in the change log. For more information refer [Track actions in the change log - Impact workspace](/manufacturing/docs/track-actions-in-the-change-log-impact-workspace).

### Inventory and supply

The **Inventory and supply** section compares inventory and supply information for the **From version** and **To version**. It displays KPI tiles and a breakdown by site and warehouse.

| KPI | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **On-hand** | The current on-hand inventory quantity |
| **Reserved** | The quantity reserved for demand, such as sales orders or production requirements |
| **Net available** | The quantity available after reservations are deducted from on-hand inventory |
| **Incoming supply** | The incoming quantity from applicable supply orders |
| **Outgoing demand** | The outgoing quantity required by applicable demand orders |
| **Coverage gap** | The difference between available supply and demand |

The breakdown grid beneath the tiles lists, per site and warehouse:

- **Item number** - The item this row is for (the affected item on the ECO line)
- **Company** - The legal entity that owns this inventory record
- **Site** - The operational site (plant/location) holding the inventory
- **Warehouse** - The specific warehouse within that site
- **Available physical** - On-hand quantity minus what's already physically reserved. What's truly free to pick right now
- **Total available** - A forward-looking figure: available physical plus incoming supply (on order), showing what will be available soon, not just this second
- **Arrived** - Quantity that has physically arrived (for example, received at the dock) but may not yet be fully put away or registered as on-hand
- **Physical reserved** - Quantity physically on-hand that's already reserved against a specific sales order or production order
- **On order** - Quantity still incoming on open purchase orders or planned production orders, not yet received

The breakdown grid is read-only. It shows inventory data from D365 F&SCM. Use **Dimensions** button that lets you choose which dimension columns the grid shows. For more information, see [Choose which dimensions to display](/manufacturing/docs/choose-which-dimensions-to-display-impact-workspace).
