Hello,
I am not an SD/MM expert and I have the following requirement that I am trying to address:
- a sales rep meets a client at a trade fair
- the client shows interest in buying X PC of a product A. He says that, if he confirms his interest, he'll place an order in a month
- the sales rep wants to somehow reserve (now) these X PC of product A so that it does not disappoint the customer in case he places the order.
- in case of stock unvailability, the demand should drive procurement
- in case the customer does not places the order then the stock reservation should be deleted
The modules I have here are SD and MM and I am not sure what's the best way to address this. This is the solution I am thinking of:
- create a rush sales order where the allocation takes place right at the order entry
- block the order with a delivery block e.g.: "waiting for customer confirmation"
- release the block in case of confirmation
- reject the lines in case the customer does not confirm
is this the solution you would also go for or do you guys have some other ideas? Should I look at MM reservations document instead? Would those help?
thanks
marco
