ENTER RESERVATIONS

Use this screen to reserve inventory from an inventory abbreviation and warehouse for another account. You may also use this screen to approve or reject inventory requests that have already been established in the Enter Inventory Requests screen.

Use this screen as needed to reserve inventory, and approve or reject inventory requests.

Reservation ID

If you entered "Y" in the Auto-Assign field in the Transaction IDs subtask of the Warehouses screen and selected "Reservation," leave this field blank and the system will automatically assign the next reservation ID. If Auto-Assign is "Y" and you manually assigned a reservation ID in this field, the system will not update the Last Inv Trans ID field in the Transaction IDs subtask of the Warehouses screen. If you entered "N" in the Auto-Assign field, you can manually enter a reservation ID containing up to 10 alphanumeric characters. The value in this field cannot begin with a space.

This field displays the system date as the default need date, but you can enter a new date.

Request

This checkbox will be selected if this reservation originated as an inventory request from the Enter Inventory Requests screen.

Status

This field displays the status of the reservation. When you enter a reservation, this field defaults to "Approved" and cannot be edited. You can also view requests in this screen. The status of a request will be "Pending," which can later be changed to "Approved" or "Rejected" in this screen. If you change the status of a request to "Approved," the request becomes a reservation.

Note: When you change this field from "Pending" to "Approved," the original Requested Qty for each inventory request row will be reduced, and the corresponding Reserved Qty will be increased by the row’s new requested quantity. If you reject an approved request, the Reserved Qty will be reduced. Similarly, if you reject a pending request, the Reserved Qty will be reduced.
