Releasing a reservation

Use this page when a pallet will not arrive at the location that putaway reserved for it, and you do not want to wait for the reservation to run out.

Before you start

• You are ADMIN, MANAGER or SUPERVISOR. OPERATOR has the API right but not the web action, so the button is refused for OPERATOR.
• You looked at the row: LPN, Location, Status, Expires. Only Active reservations are released.

Steps

1. Open Inventory Balances > Pending Move-In.
2. Tick one or more reservations. Use the quick filters LPN, Location or Status to find them.
3. Click Release.

What the screen says

Result	Message
Released	{n} reservation(s) released
Some were not active	{n} reservation(s) released, {m} already consumed, cancelled or expired
A call failed	Release failed: {error} (the rows released before it stay released)

If you tick a row that is already Consumed, Cancelled or Expired, the answer says "already ..." and nothing happens to it. That is normal. The sweeper may have reached it first.

What changes

What	Change
Reservation	Cancelled, and mod_who is stamped. The neighbours of an oversized load (rows that hold a position for it) are released with it.
Location	The held cube and weight are free at once. The next suggestion may offer the location.
Balances	Nothing.

The method does not need the version of the row: "release this reservation" does not depend on what the screen showed.
