Topic overview

The Reorganize inventory orders application is used to reorganize inventory orders. Below you will find, among other things, descriptions of how to use the application and its parameters. You will also be informed about the effects of the reorganization.

The applications are executed by the Reorganization jobs application. The description of this application can be found in the Reorganization jobs article. It also contains a procedure on how to run the application.

Various reorganization applications are added to a list in the Reorganization jobs application in order to execute them one after the other with a reorganization job. In order for reorganization to actually take place, a certain sequence within the list must often be adhered to. This is the only way to resolve usages. This sequence can be found in the Reorganization sequence artcile.

Definitions of terms

Background application
A background application is an application that is run without interaction with a user. It can be opened either by a batch job, a CORBA call-up, or another application.

Reorganization
When data are reorganized, they are physically deleted from the database. Deletion requires a set of checks to be satisfied. With reorganization, any business objects that are dependent on the data to be deleted are also deleted.

Reorganization applications
Reorganization applications are batch applications with the special Reorganization use. Reorganization applications are used to reorganize master and transaction data according to certain criteria.

Reorganization job
A reorganization job is a batch job exclusively for calling up one or more reorganization applications. The reorganization applications are called up in an individual sequence, whereby sequence dependencies are considered.
