Just tring to wrap my head around reservations & why they are needed in our application.
We use reservations now & Master Planning…
How does AX work if you are not using reservations?
What we are looking for is for the first order placed agains a part number, gets the item. When POs are received or stock gets added then the system would allow AX’s Release sales order picking To release the oldest orders first to the sales order’s pick list.
If you do not use reservations this would not work, the release sales order picking would be on shipment date, not order date. Reservation setting does not affect the MP structure here.
Ok, then if I understand you correctly it may work because the requested ship date of the sales order defaults to the the SO entry date. So an order is placed 7/31/09 and the SO requested ship date is populated as 7/31/09 by default.
You are correct only if there is no lead time setup for the item then if u give 7/31/09 the same will be defaulted else So Date + Lead time if any specified in item master set up will be defaulted.
