# Use project inventory

You can use project inventory tracking to make sure that project-specific inventory is only used by the project to which it is assigned.

Project inventory ensures a direct relation between demand lines and coverage unlike regular master planning which is done anonymous.

To track project inventory, you use project inventory numbers on projects and tracking dimension groups on products:

- **Tracking dimension group**: Assign a tracking dimension group, with the project dimension active, to the products for which you want to track project inventory.
- **Project inventory number**: If you want to track project inventory for a project, you must assign a project inventory number to the project.

As a result, you can track project inventory for the products with a tracking dimension group for which the **Project inventory number dimension** is active.

If there is demand for a project, for example an item requirement, with a project inventory number defined, this demand can be fulfilled with on hand inventory:

- With the same project inventory number defined.
- Without a project inventory number defined.

## BOMs

If you have project demand for a BOM product, and project inventory is tracked, the project inventory number is applied to all levels of the BOM.

However, if for a product on a BOM line no project inventory tracking is active, the project inventory number is not applied to this product, and also not to BOM levels beneath this product.

## Master planning

If you run the master plan for demand for the same product but with different project inventory numbers defined, a separate planned order is created for each project inventory number.

If you have project-specific demand, for example an item requirement with a project inventory number defined, and:

- Anonymous inventory on hand is available, master planning takes this inventory to cover the project-specific demand.
- An anonymous production order or purchase order is available, master planning does not consider these orders to cover the project-specific demand. Instead, master planning creates project-specific planned orders to cover the project-specific demand.

## Split pegging

If you have, for a project, several project-specific item requirement lines with the same item, one planned order is created for these requirements.
