Net Project Material

Explanation

Use this function to perform automatic netting of parts demanded by the project (and delivery project). Netting reserves these parts based on the need date and availability. However, all manually reserved material are not included in the netting.

The Netting checkbox for a demand line should be checked if netting is to be performed for the part. If it is unchecked, then the part will not not be included in the netting.

It is possible to run netting online or as a background job. If a delivery project exists, it is also possible to run the Gross Requirements calculation to register the material need of the delivery project which can also be included in the netting.

Prerequisites

Demand for a part to be netted must have been registered in the project or delivery project.
The activity connected to the part to be netted must be released.

System Effects

All material that has been reserved and pegged as automatically reserved is unreserved and reserved again in consideration to any new activities, modified quantities, new demands and need dates.
The required quantity for a project specific demand is reserved from project inventory, if available.
The required quantity for a standard part is reserved from standard inventory locations available for the project site.
The Reserved Quantity is updated on the demand line (in Project) or on the project item (in Project Delivery).
All automatically reserved material are pegged to identify that it has been automatically reserved.
All reserved material are made visible in the Project Navigator/Supply/Reserved Material tab.
