Reserve Customer Orders

Explanation

You can reserve parts automatically in four ways: line-by-line, order-by-order, shipment-by-shipment, or via a batch job. When reserving automatically the system will try to reserve the ordered quantity from the inventory location with the earliest expiration date or the earliest receipt date. The line-by-line reservation is performed in the Reserve Customer Order Lines window. The batch job is performed in the Create Customer Order Reservations window. The shipment-by-shipment reservation is performed in the different shipment windows.

Use this activity to automatically reserve full customer orders (one or multiple orders at a time). All customer orders containing unreserved material are displayed. When reserving automatically it will try to reserve the ordered quantity from the inventory location with the earliest expiration date or the earliest receipt date.

If the quantity of an order line is connected to a shipment, the reservation is done per order line and shipment. If the quantity is connected to several shipments, the oldest shipment will be reserved first. The quantities connected to shipments are reserved before any remaining quantity not connected to any shipment is reserved.
