RESERVATION

When you click the Reservation link on the main screen, one of a number of different subtasks displays depending on the Message and Supply Type settings of the selected line on the main screen.

Use this subtask to view and update details of the transfer reservation/request referenced in the selected MPS action message row in the main screen. A transfer reservation represents a future change in ownership of inventory from one inventory abbreviation/project to another. You cannot modify values on this screen if you did not select the Allow Reservation Maintenance check box in the Action Message Screen group box on the Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen.
