Reserve Shop Order Components Automatically

Explanation

Use this activity to reserve material for one or more selected material lines. This activity reserves all material for the lines that have not been reserved yet. 

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 the shop order has at least Released status.
• Enough unreserved material should be available at stock

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 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.
