Purpose
This process allows you to plan the goods movements goods issues, stock transfers and goods receipts via reservations.
A reservation enables your actual stock on-hand to be divided into unrestricted-use stock and reserved stock. This also enables you to define the sequence in which customers or other recipients are supplied.
A reservation can be created for an article or for a number of articles. Each reservation contains information on the use, article number, planned quantity, planned date of requirement/receipt, and the valuation type if the article is subject to split valuation.
Reservations allow you to:
A reservation for a goods issue is a request to the warehouse to reserve articles for issue at a later date for a specific purpose (such as for your own consumption or for a sales order). This makes the goods issue process easier and allows the goods issuing department to prepare the work. This is also a valuable source of information for Requirements Planning, helping to identify a state of shortage and replenish stocks, if required.
Reservations for stock transfers allow goods issues to be planned in the issuing center. They are used for stock transfers in one step.
Reservations for planned receipts are created to enable you to plan goods receipts from a vendor when Purchasing is not active in SAP Retail.
