Total Order and Line Reservations

When you save a sales order with a status of Open, the system writes to the demand table that PeopleSoft Inventory reads to reserve product quantities. The Material Reservation process runs against this table periodically, based on parameters that you define in the Process Scheduler.

To create soft reservations for orders or order lines without waiting for the Material Reservation process to run, save the order with a status of Open. To reserve the entire order, select Reserve Order from the Header Menu field on the Order Entry Form page. To reserve an individual line, select the individual line and select Reserve Line from the Line Menu field of the Order Entry Form page. All schedules associated with the line are reserved at the same time.

You can cancel a reserve by canceling the order line or schedule or by decreasing the quantity. Restrictions for decreasing quantity and canceling demand is controlled by the demand change configuration on the inventory business unit. You can also cancel an order line reserve using the Undo Fulfillment process in PeopleSoft Inventory.

You can select the auto-reserve option on the Order Entry Features page to automatically reserve the order lines when you save the order. This enables automatic reservations of everything on the order where possible.

Note:

If an item is marked as a demand priority item, the system ignores it when you reserve the order or line.
