Commitments

When you set up general planning constants, you can specify whether the system uses hard or soft commitments to commit parts to a work order.

When you specify hard commitment, the system:

• Indicates an actual reduction in inventory at the point that the maintenance task creates a demand for the part.

• Specifies a location from which to remove the part.

When you specify soft commitment, the system:

• Does not indicate an actual reduction in inventory at the point that the maintenance task creates a demand for the part.

• Does not specify a location from which to remove the part.
