Reservation in Shipment of Customer Order Lines

Hi ​@rosie931,

In order to understand your problem, how do you do the auto-reservation of several shipments at the same time to confirm that system is automatically reserving the shipments with later date first?

HI Pilar, 

Thank you for your reply. 

We don’t Auto-reserve several shipments. We have 1 Shipment with multiple ship dates attached with 1 Inventory Part. 

Please see example. 

Thank You 

Hi ​@rosie931,

Thanks for your clarification. 

I have been reviewing IFS documentation regarding automatic reservation in shipment, but I couldn’t find any specific criteria to select the shipment lines with the same part into the same shipment, before doing the reservation. Also, as far as I could see in the code, system is not ordering by dates.

I would recommend you to create shipments with Consolidation parameter of Planned Ship Date. In this way, different shipments would be created for different dates. Being like that, when doing automatic reservation (for example, Reserve Customer Order), and according to the documentation, system will pick up for reservation the shipments with oldest shipment id first.

I was able to replicate this behavior in an IFS Cloud 24R1 Core environment (not sure what’s your current version):

But it would be also interesting if this could be reported to Support team, so they can investigate this further and consult with R&D to check if this could be considered as a defect in Core application.

Hello Pilar, 

Thank you for coming back to me. 

I will test in our test environment, we are currently on 24R2. 

Just to confirm, these are the parameters i need to set up?

I have tested this in the test environment, with the consolidation parameters set up as above, and my shipment is still auto reserving the later date. Have i done this correctly? 

Thanks

Hi ​@rosie931,

Consolidation parameter is correct, but this is used only when shipment is automatically created, according to the Shipment Type selected in the customer order line. For example, if new shipment is created on Release, and if you have a customer order in Planned status and several customer order lines with different ship dates, then different shipments will be created when releasing the order. Each shipment created will have the Planned Ship Date of the corresponding line. Then, one shipment will be created per Ship Date, with corresponding lines. Once they are all created, when executing automatic reservation, system will reserve first the oldest shipment first.

How are you creating the shipment and connecting the shipment lines?

Pilar
