Inventory Management

Reservation
A reservation is a request for a goods issue at a later
date.
Reservation can be requested by various departments
for various account assignment objects (such as cost
center, order, asset, etc.).
The purpose is to ensure that a material will be available
when it is needed.
Also important is that reservations are taken into account
by Material Requirements Planning (MRP), (are
procured in time if they are out of stock).

Information in a Reservation
In a reservation, information is stored that is relevant
for the goods issue and for materials planning, for
example:
what? (which material?)
how much? (in which quantity?)
when? (for which requirement date?)
from where? (from which plant or warehouse?)
to where? (to which recipient or customer?)

Results of a Reservation?
When a reservation is entered, the following events
occur in the system:
A reservation document, which serves as proof
of the request, is created.
Total stock and unrestricted-use stock of the
material remain unchanged. Reserved stock is
increased by the reserved quantity.
In materials planning, available stock is reduced
by the reserved quantity. This is visible in the
current stock/requirements list.
