The purpose of a reservation is to ensure that a material will be available when it is needed. It also serves to simplify and accelerate the goods issue process and prepare the tasks at the point of goods issue. You can handle both planned goods issues and unplanned goods issues. A planner assigns the required components to the service order for the work to be performed. A technician at site performs the activity without delay. To cover process of reserved material, FSM Connector provides solution for four different scenarios and full customizing for them.
