Understanding the Results of the Reservations Processes

Demand lines may fail to pass reservations processing for a number of reasons. The following features explain why certain demand lines did not complete reservations processing:

Correct Demand Errors Component

Use the Correct Demand Errors component to view and correct demand lines with data integrity errors, such as invalid field values or process rule violations.

Message Dashboard

Use the Message Dashboard to view messages about demand lines that fail to pass the order and line reservation rules. These EWN messages are generated during reservations processing. In addition to viewing information within the Message Dashboard, a user can receive notifications when these messages occur via an email, a worklist entry, or a XML message. To use these notifications, set up the process categories under the process name IN_RESERVATIONS within the message registry.

Unreserved Demand Lines Report

Generate the Unreserved Demand Lines Report (INS6400) to view all demand lines that did not pass reservations processing. The report is produced at the end of the Reserve Materials process or the Fulfillment Requests process when you select the Unreserved Demand Lines Report check box. The default check box is located on the Setup Fulfillment-Reservation page. This default value is:

  • Applied to the Reserve Materials process page where the value can be changed.

  • Applied to the Fulfillment Requests process page (for Inventory Reservation EIPs) where the value can be changed.

The Unreserved Demand Lines report is an SQR report that identifies demand lines that were not reserved for the following reasons:

  • Demand line is not approved.

  • Demand line is on hold.

  • Demand line has one or more data integrity errors.

  • Demand line is outside the reservation lead days.

  • Demand line is outside the ATP lead days and not partially promised.

  • Demand line is fully pegged line.

  • Demand line can only be reserved online using the Shortage Workbench.

  • Demand line did not pass the line reservation rule.

  • Demand line did not pass the order reservation rule.

  • Demand line had no quantity reserved due to a reservation rule.

  • Demand line needs to pass a reservation rule based on weight or volume; however the demand line did not have weight or volume information defined.

  • Work order demand line did not pass work order reservation rules.

The Unreserved Demand Lines report populates the reservations report table (IN_FUL_RSV_RPT) with the following information:

  • Process instance of the reservations process that generated the report.

  • Inventory business unit.

  • Demand source.

  • Source business unit.

  • Order number.

  • Line number.

  • Schedule line number.

  • Demand line number.

  • Item ID.

  • Schedules shipment date.

  • Message explaining why the demand line did not pass the reservations process.

The reservations report table is populated each time the Unreserved Demand Lines report is run. Select the Purge Report Table check box to clean out this table after each report is produced. The Purge Report Table check box is located on the:

  • Reserve Materials process page.

  • Fulfillment Requests process page.
