Reserve Stock - Stock Control

If you want to reserve stock against sales issues, then you can use this transaction option to achieve it.When a sales issue reduces stock subsequently, you are given the opportunity also to reduce the reserved stock level by the same amount (see ‘Sales Issues’ above).

The screen displayed when you choose this option and the method of entering the transaction details is the same as that described for issues (see above) except that as no physical stock movement occurs no batch/serial details are entered.

When the stock files are updated the following actions occur for each item on the reservation:

The reserved stock level is increased by the quantity entered

The last transaction date is updated

A reserved transaction is written to the stock transaction file
