Functions of the Reservations Management Program
Use
The management program RM07RVER carries out the following activities:
Marking Items for Deletion
The reservations management program sets the deletion indicator for reservation items:
Consequently, old or unnecessary reservations that no longer represent an "actual" request are deleted (for example, because the material was withdrawn without the reservation being referenced during the goods issue posting).
Calculating the Deletion Date
To allow the system to calculate a date for the deletion of the reservations, you must enter a base date on the selection screen. The system calculates the deletion date using the base date you enter minus a predefined number of days (in the standard SAP System: 30 days).
You enter 10. 01 as a base date. In this case, all reservation items whose requirement date is on or before 09.01 are marked for deletion.
Deleting Reservations
If all of the items of a reservation are marked for deletion, the entire reservation is removed from the file.
It is possible to delete only those reservations that were entered for a certain account assignment (for example, a cost center or an order). To do so, enter the account assignment as a selection criterion.
Allowing Movements for Reservation Items
The reservations management program sets the Movement allowed indicator for all items whose requirement date falls within a certain period. For these items, goods movements are allowed.
Calculating the Period
To enable the system to calculate a period for allowing movements, you must enter a base date on the selection screen. The system calculates the period using the base date you enter plus a predefined number of days (in the standard SAP System: 10 days).
You enter 10/01 as a base date. In this case, movements are allowed for all items whose requirement date is before 10/12.
The default number of days (30 days for the deletion indicator, 10 days for the Movement allowed indicator) can be changed by the system administrator in Customizing for Inventory Management.
