Centralized Reservation, Batch Per Site
Explanation
Use this activity to reserve multiple sources (Supported Sources: Shipment Order, Repair RMA, Project
Deliverables) in batch per site, either directly or as a scheduled task to run as a background job. All Shipment
Order lines, Repair RMA lines and Shipment Plans in Project Deliverables containing unreserved material are taken
into consideration. The reservation will be done according to the automatic reservation logic i.e. according to
rules configured for FIFO, zone ranking, handling units etc.
If the quantity of a source line is connected to a shipment, the reservation is done per source line and
shipment.
The Default feature enables you to use the default settings. Default settings are derived from
the Database Tasks page set by the administrator.
If you no longer want to pick the entire reserved quantity, it is possible to change this on the Manual
Reservation pages (Manual Reservation for Shipment Order Line, Manual
Reservation for Shipment Plan etc.). For parts, query for the Source (Shipment
order, Repair RMA, Project Deliverables) in question and enter the required quantity in the Qty
Reserved field. Save, and the quantity you do not want to pick is no longer reserved.
Prerequisites
System Effects
- If parts are available in stock and if the criteria in Create Reservations are met,
then parts will be automatically reserved for the unreserved shipment order lines (Source line status: Planned,
Released, In Progress).
- If parts are available in stock and if the criteria in Create Reservations are met,
then parts will be automatically reserved for the unreserved repair RMA lines with Return Reason
as Ship Only, Repair Pool Swap, Advance Replacement, Repair and Return (Source line status: New, In
Progress).
- If parts are available in stock and if the criteria in Create Reservations are met,
then parts will be automatically reserved for the unreserved shipment plans.
- If you have scheduled the task as a background job, the task will be automatically performed based on the
specified selection criteria.
- When all of the required quantity is not available in stock, the line will be partly reserved.
- The system will not handle expired parts.
- For source lines connected to a shipment, the next event in the shipment flow will be triggered if the
shipment type allows this. When reserving with this activity, any optional events, defined to be executed at
reservation in the shipment flow, will not be triggered.
