Reservation Entry table "Surplus" Entries

Jay2007

Hi there,


Can anybody tell me what triggers the creation of a Surplus Entry in the Reservation Entry table and how it calculates the figure????? ](*,)

Thanks in advance,

Jay

Entries of Type = Surplus are the result of Item Tracking Lines

Do you know how it calculates the Quantity figure at all for a Surplus Entry as I cannot make sense of it here?? :-k

The Quantity will be what ever the user enters in "item tracking lines" form. The system will combine similar entries when the form is closed. Look at form 6510. This is the code that creates the entries.

I normally find surplus reservation entries created when I assign lot/serial numbers to a sales line. This is because there is no explicit tie between the inventory supply and the sales line demand.

If you check the help around the Reservation Status field it explains all 4 option values.
