Jobs to Review

Details are displayed in this grid according to the Review Criteria you indicated.

Field Description
Apply Specific Changes Saves the changes made to the grid and updates the relevant tables.
Release All Releases all reservations for all allocations against all jobs listed in the review.

The Jobs to Review grid is refreshed, when the Reload after update option is enabled, to show zero reserved.

Reserve All Reserve quantities for all allocations for all jobs listed in the review.

Reservations are applied from the top of the grid downwards, using up available stock as quantities are reserved.

Partial reserving takes place up to the stock quantity available when not enough stock exists for the item.

If an allocation is linked to a sub job or a purchase order then the sub job or purchase order quantity is used first to satisfy the quantity required for the allocation. Thereafter, if there is still a remaining quantity to be reserved, then this must be reserved manually using this program.

See Restrictions and limits.

Stock code Indicates the parent stock code for each job followed by the allocation stock code(s).

The quantity entered here replaces any existing quantity to reserve. It is not added to, or subtracted from the quantity currently reserved.
