Hi Christian, that part of the system definitely needs some love and I understand your confusion. If I well remember the intended behavior is the following:
* if "Fail If Items Are Not Available" is set to Yes: the system will only issue materials that are not reserved by a sales order; i.e. in order to succeed you will need enough ATP * if "Fail If Items Are Not Available" is set to No: the system will possibly "steal" reserved items, if needed; i.e. in order to succeed you will need at least enough QOH * in both cases, if there is not enough QOH for the materials, the operation will fail I hope it helps, Jacopo On Mar 7, 2014, at 4:47 PM, Christian Carlow <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, I should have been more clear.
