Reserve Materials Automatically
Use the Reserve Materials Automatically scheduled process to reserve materials for the work order.
You can select multiple work orders in the Manage Work Order UI or the Material Availability Assignments UI and using the Mass Action Reserve Materials Automatically action, launch the scheduled process and then the system reserves the on-hand quantity at the organization level for the work order materials in inventory.
When to Use
This action helps the shop floor personnel to automatically reserve the materials for the work orders directly from the Manage Work Order UI or Material Availability Assignments UI. Upon executing the scheduled process, the materials of the selected work orders are reserved based on the ATR (available to reserve) quantity in inventory.
