Use Validations for Changing Material Status When Reservations Exist

When reserving lot-controlled material in conjunction with material status control, you need to be sure that reserved lots can't be moved to a material status that doesn't allow reservations so that your demands aren't left without adequate supply. Prior to this update, any open picking allocations or organization-level reservations for an item prevented changing the lot's material status from one that allows reservations to one that doesn't allow reservations for any lot number of that item. Now the validation is relaxed, so you can change a lot's material status to one that doesn't allow reservations as long as there are no detailed reservations for the lot, the lot isn't allocated to an open pick, and the reduction of the lot quantity doesn't reduce the quantity available for reservations below the already reserved quantity. 

This feature provides you more flexibility to change a lot's material status from one that allows reservations to one that doesn't allow reservations when required.
