How You Manage Work Order Reservations

The work order as a source of supply can be reserved against a sales order demand. The reservations are typically created by the application when a back-to-back sales order or a configured item sales order is reserved for the work order.

The following table lists the attributes that are displayed if the work order has any reservation details:

Name	Description
Work Order Quantity	Represents the quantity of the work order in its primary unit of measure.
Total Reserved Quantity	Represents the work order that's reserved against one or more demand documents.
Reserved Quantity	Represents the quantity of the work order that's reserved against each demand document.
UOM	Primary unit of measure of the quantity reserved.
Document Type	Represents the document type of the demand. Typically, this is Sales Order.
Customer Number	Number identifying the customer of the demand.
Customer	Name identifying the customer of the demand.
Document Number	Number identifying the document of the demand. Note: An Attachments icon is conditionally displayed if there are any sales order header or sales order line attachments. You can click the icon to view the attachments in separate tabs.
Document Line Number	Number identifying the document line of the demand.
Due Date	Represents the due date of the demand document.
Line Quantity	Represents the quantity of the document line of the demand.
UOM	Unit of measure the demand quantity.

When you reduce the work order quantity, the existing sales order reservations are reduced appropriately. Similarly, when you change the status of the work order to canceled or closed, the existing sales order reservations are removed.

Sales Order attachments from back-to-back sales orders for standard items and configured items are displayed in the Reservations tab of the work order. You can optionally control which attachments can be viewed by the production supervisor.

Attachments belonging to the Miscellaneous category are always displayed by default. However, other user-defined attachment categories may be configured and displayed based on the security setup. Security can be enabled using the standard attachment security framework provided in the Setup and Maintenance work area and the Security Console.

Note: Work orders can be manually reserved against sales orders in inventory.

Maintain Detailed Reservations

This feature helps you create detailed reservations for customer orders for items using the back-to-back process, or orders where you manually reserve the work order to the sales order.

Maintain Detailed Reservations for Work Orders

You can create reservation in the following levels when the work orders are completed.

• Subinventory

• Locator

• Lot

• Serial

• Project

• Task

This feature creates detailed reservation of the sales order to subinventory, locator, lot, or serial level, when the quantity on the work order is completed. Here's how it happens.

• The work order completion transaction transfers the reservation from the work order to the on hand document type.

• The return of the work order product updates the reservation and transfers the reservation back to the work order.

• The serial numbers associated to the reservations are removed from the reservation on work order product return.
