Management of reservations involves the following:

• deletion of the reservation file
• mass changes to reservations

You should regularly delete completed, old, or unnecessary reservations to prevent the reservation file from becoming too big. Reservations are deleted as follows:

1. Reservation items that are completed or that are in the system longer than a certain number of days are marked for deletion by the reservations management program.
2. If all of the items of a reservation are marked for deletion, the reservation is physically removed from the file.

When you enter reservations for which movements are not yet allowed, you must set the Movement allowed indicator so that you can post goods movements for these reservation items. It is possible to make this change for all reservation items whose requirement date is in the near future (for example, within the next 10 days).

You can limit the list of reservations to be processed by entering various selection criteria, as follows:

• reservation number (defining a range is allowed)
• base date (To date)
• account assignment
