4 X2 Creating Reservations
Reservations enable you to make sure that the reserved material will be available at a later time for a specific purpose. A reservation for a goods issue can be requested from different departments and for different account assignment objects (for example, cost center, order, asset). Material Requirements Planning takes reservations into account so that required material can be procured in time. Using this app, you can also use reservations as a planning instrument for future goods receipts. You can manually create reservations or the system can automatically generate them. Automatic reservations are possible for orders, networks, and WBS elements. In addition, stock transfer reservations can be automatically generated. The AFS system supports the creation and processing of reservations at SKU level.
