This activity is used to control which sites are allowed to perform supply chain reservations and to see inventory part availability on your site. Additionally the default setting for the Release for Mtrl Planning checkbox on the customer order line can be controlled.
Sites can be entered as demand sites performing reservations on your site. The demand site reservations are performed from the customer order lines and sourced lines that have the supply code Internal Purchase against your site. You can decide the default supply chain reservation type that will be used for their demands against your site as manual, instant or not allowed. Only sites that are demand sites having supply chain reservation type manual or instant can perform reservations on your site.
It is essential to see inventory part availability on the supply site when selling to customers and, this can be enabled via this activity for demand site users even though they are not connected to the supply site. Note that a user connected to the supply site will always see availability on the supply site regardless of the configuration in this window.
When a customer order line with supply code internal purchase direct or internal purchase transit is entered on demand site, the value of the Release for Mtrl Planning checkbox controls whether the demand entered may be visible as a demand on the supply site already before the customer order is released. The checkbox is selected as default, but it can be controlled if it should be unselected instead by having a set up done in this window, since the value is inherited to the customer order line.
