Redwood: Reserve Materials for a Manufacturing Work Order Using a New User Experience

Manufacturers can utilize material reservations to ensure that the specified quantity is available for a work order to ensure uninterrupted production. In a prior release, you could reserve materials automatically using a scheduled process for one or more work orders from a Redwood page. Using the Redwood user experience, you can now reserve materials manually for a work order operation using the Work Orders page or Edit Work Order page.

You can create a high-level material reservation at the organization level or a detailed material reservation at a subinventory, locator, lot, or serial level. For an existing reservation for a work order operation item, you can review and edit the reservation details that links demand in context of the work order operation to the supply.

When rework is needed in serialized manufacturing, you can also reserve the serial numbers for a product in a rework work order.

You can view the 'Reserve Materials Manually' action for the work order in the Manage Work Orders page. Also, if you have performed any reservations, you can see the icon that shows that reservation exists for at least one work order material. You can also perform manual reservation for the specific operation materials using the 'Reserve Materials Manually' action at the work order operation level. Once reservation is done, you can view the reserved quantity for the operation material.

When you execute 'Reserve Materials Manually' action from the manufacturing work order, the Inventory reservation page is launched, where you can view the existing reservation, create new reservation for the work order materials, as well as update or delete the reservations.

Tips And Considerations

• You must enable the plant parameter 'Allow reservations for work order materials' to perform actions that reserve materials automatically, reserve materials manually, and reserve serials, as well as to view reservation information.
• For an improved, end-to-end user experience, you need to enable the following Redwood page:
  • Work Orders and Work Order Details - Use the Redwood Manage Work Orders Enabled profile option. Refer to the 25C feature Redwood: Create and Edit Work Orders Using a New User Experience for more information. If this profile option is not enabled, you can't launch the Redwood user interface for managing work orders.
