Search for Reservations Using Customer Name and Account

Refine your reservation searches with the addition of Customer Name and Account as query criteria in the Find Reservations and Item Reservations windows. Prior to Release 12.2.14, reservation searches were limited to other parameters, making it challenging to locate reservations tied to specific customer data. This enhancement enables you to quickly identify reservations associated with particular customer profiles, improving order fulfillment tracking and inventory allocation precision.
