About order quantity reservation

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

The order quantity is reserved from the available, on-hand inventory of an item. The default value is taken from the Reservation field in Sales parameters. You can choose among the options that are described in the following table.

Option

Description

Manual

No inventory is reserved unless you make reservations manually in the Reservation form.

Automatic

Reserves in-stock items for sales orders that will be delivered in the future. Before those orders are delivered, you might receive a new sales order that is to be delivered first. The system will indicate that not enough stock is available for the new order.

Explosion

Works the same way as Automatic, but item reservations for BOMs is controlled by master scheduling.
