Component Reservation View

Hi There,

I am currently using D365 in a planning role and would like to check with the forum on how we can improve things.

At the moment we create batch jobs to plan our products within the system.

Finished products have components associated with them and we manually reserve all the components and finding it very time consuming to go through each component and check line by line.

Is there a view on the system where you can go into one batch job and into formula, and check which items are reserved and not reserved?

This will prevent a lot of clicks when checking each job,

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Max,

    For Automatic Reservations, the item card can be set up to always be reserved automatically from demand, such as sales orders. In that case, reservation is made against inventory, purchase orders, assembly orders, and production orders. A warning is issued if supply is insufficient.

    In addition, items are automatically reserved by various planning functions to keep a demand linked to a specific supply. The order tracking entries for such planning links contain Reservation in the Reservation Status field in the Reservation Entry table. Automatic reservations are created in the following situations:

    A multilevel production order where the Manufacturing Policy field of the involved parent and child items is set to Make-to-Order. The planning system creates reservations between the parent production order and the underlying production orders to ensure that they are processed together. Such a reservation binding overrides the item's default costing and application method.

    A production, assembly, or purchase order where the Reordering Policy field of the involved item is set to Order. The planning system creates reservations between the demand and the planned supply to ensure that the specific supply is created. For more information, see Order.

    A production order created from a sales order with the Sales Order Planning function is linked to the sales order with an automatic reservation.

    Check you setups and I would try running planning and see the results. Note that this might take a few attempts since the setup is the key factor.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi,

    I'm not quite sure I understand what the problem is but the "Item Age Composition" - report can help you predict future inventory on items.

    But doesn't these finished products have BOM's, so when you release a production order BC reserves the component you have defined in the BOM.

    Or maybe I completely misunderstood the problem :)
