Suggested by Tim Frigger – Under Review
We would like to extend flexible warehouse-level dimension reservation to be used for production orders and transfers orders as well. Currently we are only able to use functionality on sales order line level. That means we would like to enable businesses reserve specific batches, even when the products are associated with a "Batch-below[location]" reservation hierarchy.
I am working with a global maritime constructor, and they require the flexible reservation hierarchy functionality on their production orders. This is a needed addition to standard functionality.
Our customer manufactures machinery and huge metal constructions and steel is a vital part for raw materials. Just a few % waste or wrong usage will mean the difference of continuing business or not.
Making the flexible reservation work really should have been done already. It has existed for two years now. Does the Product Group does find it enough relevant for the market to alter or improve it, i.e. make it work as broadly expected?
From a reservation point of view it is only fair to expect that it will work no matter which demand order that expresses the requested item quantity. The origin for expressing demands, i.e. sales order lines, transfer order lines, BOM-lines on productions, have inventory transactions upon which call for demand of item quantity is represented in net requirement calculations and/or reservations. Seeing it from the side of inventory transactions there is no reason to think that flexible reservation should not work.
Please
Yes
Great idea
Very much needed,
