Demand Filters	Enables you to re-select your search criteria. For example, if the search result is too large, you can select additional options here and click the Refresh button to narrow the search results to a manageable size.
Detail Action	Choose the action to be performed on the selected demand lines. Options include: Accept Override Quantity: Uses the quantity that you entered in the Planned Release Base field or the Planned Release field to override the reserved quantity for soft-reserved items, the promised quantity for ATP items, and the planned pick quantity for non-soft reserved items. If the Negative Available Qty Allowed check box is selected on the Setup Fulfillment-Reservation page, then you change the planned release quantity to more than the available quantity in the business unit. The action of Accept Override Quantity cannot be used with a return to vendor MSR. Approve Backorders: Approves the selected backordered demand lines. Approve Partial Quantity: Approves the partially-reserved quantity of the demand line. Approve Stock Requests: Approves the demand line. Cancel Backorders: Create a canceled backorder for the demand line's open demand quantity. Create Backorders: Creates a backorder for the demand line's open demand quantity. Deallocate: Removes the pre-allocation or lot-allocation created for the demand line. Pre-Allocate: Automatically pre-allocates stock from a material storage location to the demand line before the picking stage; that is, when the demand line is in the Unfulfilled or Releasable state. Release as Shortage: Changes status of a unfulfilled demand line to releasable, bypassing all reservation and backorder rules. Reserve with Rules: Attempts to reserve the demand line for the open demand quantity while enforcing the reservation rules. Backorder rules are not used and the demand line is kept in the unfulfilled state. Reserve without Rules: Attempts to reserve the demand line for the open demand quantity bypassing the reservation rules. Demand line is kept in the unfulfilled state. Set to Releasable: Changes the state of the demand line to releasable and executes the backorder rules. Set to Unfulfilled: Changes the state of a releasable demand line back to the unfulfilled state. Unpromise: Removes the promised quantity of the demand line for ATP items. Unreserve: Removes the reservation of demand line for soft-reserve items. Note: The detail actions displayed here are determined by the template ID.

This feature can be required or optional based on the workbench template. Use the Set as Default button to apply this reason code and comments to all selected orders. When reason codes and comments are entered, a notification is sent by the Message Registry to the Message Dashboard and the person responsible for the demand line.
