Reserve Shop Order Components Manually

Explanation

This activity is used to reserve material manually. You can select the inventory location from which to retrieve the material. The supply code of the shop order material line will be considered when showing the available stock.

• If the supply code is Inventory Order, only the standard inventory is available for reservation.
• If the supply code is Project Inventory, only the project inventory of the project connected to the shop order is available for reservation.

You can select one or more lines at a time. Manually reserving material ensures that you get exactly the material you want. Manually reserved material cannot be used for any other shop order. This ensures that the shop order you specify has sufficient material to be completed. You cannot reserve more material than the demand. 

In MRO Manufacturing, manual reservations are required when the material allocated to a repair or assembly shop order must be supplied via an inventory order. This could, for instance, be the result of scrap during disposition or timing issues or damage occurring during repair. In such cases, the user must ensure that the material reserved manually meets any life limit requirements and has all required modifications performed as specified in the work scope.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that:

• The shop order has at least Released status.
• If you want to use multiple units of measure when entering the quantities of parts to reserve, an input UoM group must have been connected to the part and the Manufacturing Usage Allowed check box must have been selected for at least one input UoM (belonging to that input UoM group). 

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system reserves material for a shop order. The shop order's status changes to Reserved. The status of the selected material line or lines also changes to Reserved.

When reserving a material line with a connected supply pegging, the reservation will reduce the pegged quantity by the same quantity that was reserved. However, if there is more than one supply pegged to the same demand you will be notified to manually adjust the peggings before the reservation can be performed.

Procedure

1. In the Material tab, select one or more material lines for which you want to reserve material.
2. Right-click anywhere in the table and then click Manual Reservations. The Reservations window appears.
3. Enter the quantity of the components to reserve in the Qty to Reserve field of the inventory location from which you want to reserve the material. The Comp Qty Required field displays the quantity of the component needed.
   
   Note: If the Input UoM Group check box in the Reservations window is selected, you can enter the quantities of parts to reserve in the input unit other than the inventory unit of measure. You can select an input UoM from the Input UoM list, and then enter the parameters either in the Input Qty field or in the Input UoM Parameters window.
   
   Please note that the reservation is made in the inventory UoM. The input UoM group only converts the entered input quantity to the inventory quantity. Please refer Select Input UoM and Enter Parameters. 
4. Save.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 for all material you want to reserve.
