Generating Transfer Reservations

The system creates a separate reservation for each planned order group.

If planned orders share the same part key, due date, and from and to inventory abbreviations, the quantities are combined on one reservation line. Otherwise, each planned order becomes a separate reservation line.

Field Description
Requester

If you have supplied the Requisitioner/Requestor employee ID in the Options group box of the Firm Material Requirements Planning Planned Orders screen, that ID will be used as the requisitioner in the Requisition header. If you selected the Use Planner Employee check box as the requestor, the planner associated with the first planned order in the group will be used as the requestor.

Status

If one or more of the planned orders in the groups is selected for firming, an inventory request is generated. If all the planned orders are selected for release, an inventory reservation is created.

Need Date

The need date for the reservation line is the planned order's due date, and the need date of the reservation header is the earliest planned order due date.
