Committing

In order to issue stock from an inventory business unit, the work order line must be committed to the demand fulfillment (IN_DEMAND) table. The inventory commit rule defined within PeopleSoft Maintenance Management determines when the work order line is committed. Based on the commit rule, the line can be committed when:

  • The parts list is first created on a work order in Maintenance Management.

  • The status of the work order is changed in Maintenance Management.

  • The line is reserved to an inventory business unit.

    The work order demand line must be committed before reserving stock; therefore, any action that reserves a non-committed line will also perform a commit.

  • The pick plan is created using the Work Order Pick Plan process page in PeopleSoft Inventory.

The commit rule is designed to default to the work order task from the Maintenance Management business unit, shop, or WO type. Within PeopleSoft Inventory, the following components will commit work order lines based on the commit rule:

  • The Pegging Workbench. When a line is pegged, it is automatically committed.

  • The Reserve Materials process.

  • The Work Order Pick Plan process.

  • The Issue to Work Orders component.

Once a work order line is committed to the demand fulfillment (IN_DEMAND) table in PeopleSoft Inventory, the demand line can be:

  • Viewed in the Product/Item Availability page.

  • Changed on the Shortage Workbench.

  • Used as demand for replenishment calculations by the Create Replenishment Requests process.

  • Processed through the work order demand fulfillment, including:

    • Reserved (optional).

    • Pegged to supply (optional)

    • Placed on a pick plan (optional).

    • Issued stock from inventory.

Note:

A commit is not a reserve nor an allocation. The demand line is written to the inventory records, however, committing a work order item does not reduce the item's available quantity in the inventory business unit or material storage location. Work order demand lines containing both soft-reserve items and non-soft reserve items can be committed to the demand fulfillment table.
