Unreserve Inventory

Unreserve Inventory

Create inventory stock requests.
Security:
Manage: Fulfillment
domain in the Inventory functional area.
You can unreserve inventory that was previously reserved when you need to cancel order or issue transactions. When you create a directed picking list before running any reservations, Workday sets the reservation quantity to the directed picking quantity (converted to base unit of measure (UOM)).
  1. Access the
    Unreserve Inventory
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Inventory Site
    Select the inventory site that you have access to, with the reserved inventory.
    Stock Request
    Select the stock request that you have access to, with the reserved items.
    Order Type
    Select:
    • Issue Request
      to issue directly to a worker or par location.
    • Transfer Request
      to transfer goods between 2 inventory sites.
    Transfer to Site
    Indicates the inventory site that Workday sends the unreserved inventory to, after the unreserve transaction is complete.
    Requester
    Select the requester on the stock request for the items.
    Par Location
    For par replenishment stock request types, select the par location that Workday transfers inventory to, after the unreserve transaction.
    Exclude High Priority
    When you select this option, Workday excludes high priority stock requests from the unreserve inventory job. This ensures that you don't interrupt movement of urgent items midtransaction.
  3. (Optional): Drill down on the
    Quantity Reserved
    column to display the aggregated reserved quantity for the stock request line.
After you submit the unreserve request, Workday:
  • Unallocates inventory reserved for a site.
  • Removes the item reservation from the associated stock request line.
Other items reserved on the stock request continue as scheduled.
