Reserve Operation-Linked Material

Explanation

Use this activity to reserve material linked to a specific operation. By linking material to the operation where it is used, you avoid having to reserve material too far in advance. This ensures that material is not locked up for an unnecessarily lengthy period.

The supply code of the selected material lines is considered when reserving material.

• If the supply code is Inventory Order, only standard inventory is available to reserve. 
• If the supply code is Project Inventory, only project inventory belonging to the project connected to the shop order is available to reserve. If possible, parts belonging to the connected project activity are reserved.

Prerequisites

• This activity requires that a material line is linked to an operation. This is displayed in the Shop Order/Material tab.
• Enough unreserved material should be available at stock

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system reserves the material connected to an operation.

When reserving a material line with a connected supply pegging, the automatic reservation will reserve the quantity that is not pegged.

For shop orders connected to project activities the system reserves according to following priority:

A. Project Inventory connected to the same activity.

1. Issue From location identified for the shop order component.
2. Inbound locations for the identified Work Center Location for the operation associated with the component, if any.
3. From location type Floor Stock.
4. From location type Picking.

B. If A was not fulfilled and supply code is Project Delivery

1. Try to reserve components from the demand activity sequence using the project delivery structure.

C. If A or B was not fulfilled, look for Project Inventory connected to a different activity, but belonging to the same project

1. Issue From location identified for the shop order component.
2. Inbound locations for the identified Work Center Location for the operation associated with the component, if any.
3. From location type Floor Stock.
4. From location type Picking

The system reserves according to a FIFO algorithm.
