How does order reservation work?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Order Reservation in NetSuite is a feature that allows you to reserve a specific quantity of an item for a particular sales order. This is particularly useful in scenarios where you have limited stock and want to ensure that it is allocated to specific orders. When you create an order reservation, the quantities are allocated/reserved for that particular order. However, these quantities are still considered as 'Available' in the system. This might seem counter-intuitive, but it is designed this way to allow for flexibility in managing your inventory. The 'Quantity committed to order reservation' is a part of the supply allocation function. It shows the quantity committed from an order reservation rather than from the inventory on hand. This can be useful in understanding how much of your inventory is committed to specific orders. To ensure that the quantities are committed to the order reservation, you need to set the order reservation as 'Firm'. Please note that the quantities NetSuite shows on the sales order line are still from the location selected on the order, not based on the reservation available quantities. As for importing order reservations, it is possible but without specific details on the issues you're facing, it's hard to provide a definitive solution. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
