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.

Reservation
A reservation is a guarantee that a certain good will be deliverable at a specific date. Reservations represent the link of a demand origin (element) to a demand coverage (element). A reservation is only possible if both items and warehouses match between demand origin (element) and demand coverage (element).

Application description

The batch application Update reservation scope in the item checks whether the inventory management data is consistent in relation to the customizing function Reservations.

Inconsistent data records in the item master data can only occur if the checkbox Allow reservation of planned receipts has been unchecked in Customizing. Then the value Inventory and planned receipts in the Reservation scope setting in the Inventory management view (generally in the Reservations grouping, warehouse-related Warehouse data tab) is no longer permitted for any item. However, some items may have this value. Therefore, when the above-mentioned customizing setting is changed, a warning message is issued that the batch application Update reservation scope in the item must be started to ensure data consistency.

Application finds all item inventory management data that has become inconsistent in this way and corrects the Reservation scope setting. The attribute is assigned the value Inventory.
