Item Reservation in D365 Business Central.

All Readers,

Hope you are all safe and sound!

In today’s blog, we will talk about item reservations.

Let’s see the Item Reservation benefits:

• Reserve items for sales orders, purchase orders, service orders, assembly orders, transfer orders, and production orders.

• Reserve items in inventory or inbound on open document or journal lines.

• The Reservationpage displays information about one type of line (sales, purchase, or journal) or inventory entry.

• Manufacturing and distributing companies face inventory problems due to shipments and purchases running in and out of the system. So, reserving the quantity becomes helpful.

• Reservation locks your shipment quantity so even though there are 10000’s shipments a day, will always have inventory for a smooth sales transaction.
