For reservations with a due date in the past to be deleted automatically, what must be defined at the plant level?

For reservations with a due date in the past to be deleted automatically, a retention period for reservation items must be defined at the plant level. This retention period specifies the length of time that a reservation can remain active before it's considered obsolete and can be automatically removed by the system.

Defining this retention period helps maintain the accuracy and efficiency of inventory management by ensuring that outdated reservations do not clutter the system and pose a risk of misleading inventory levels. When this setting is configured, the system regularly evaluates reservations, and those past their defined retention period will be processed for deletion, thus ensuring that the reservation records reflect current and relevant data.

Without establishing a specific retention period, the system lacks guidance on when to consider past reservations for deletion, potentially leading to confusion and inefficiencies in inventory management practices.
