Create Inventory Reservation without Existing Demand Document

You can use the Manage Reservations and Picks task to create inventory reservations when you don't have an existing demand, such as a sales order or transfer order, to reserve inventory against. In these cases, you can create a user-defined, account, or account alias demand.

In our example, let's create an inventory reservation against a user-defined demand document type.

Here's a summary of our overall steps:

• Create the user-defined demand document type

• Confirm inventory reservation creation was successful

1. From the Inventory Management work area, click the Tasks panel tab and select the Manage Reservations and Picks task.

2. Click the Create Reservations button.

3. In the Search Results: Demand region, click the Create list and then, select Create User-Defined Demand from the list.

4. In the Create User-Defined Demand dialog box, enter or select these values:
