Peg or Unpeg Material Demand

This activity is used to manually connect or remove the connection between existing supplies and Request Wdork Task material demands. The purpose of this connection (pegging) is to allow automatic allocation of supplies to the Request Work Task material demands as soon as the material arrives in inventory. 

If you are working on a Request Work Task, use the option Manual Pegging from the Material tab in the Request Work Task page to perform this activity. 

Note: Once you have pegged a material, use the Inventory Part Availability Planning page to verify the reserved quantity is reflected correctly on the demand line. Or you can verify it, using the Quantity Pegged field from the Material tab.

Prerequisites 

• Material requirements must exist on the Request Work Task. 
• A valid purchase order must exist. When pegging a Request Work Task material demands, the purchase order must match the required part number, ownership, and owner information on the material demand line. 
•  If the pegging is to be done for a material demand line on a Request Work Task, the Request Work Task must not have reached the Reported status. 

System Effects 

• A pegging reference is created. 
• Pegged quantities are updated on the material demand line on the Request Work Task. 
• When the supply is received into inventory, the pegged quantity will be reserved automatically to the pegged demand.   
• If the pegging exists, then the changes are not allowed for the Supply Code/Delivery Method on the Request Work Task material demand line.
