Commitment Types in JDE

Inventory commitment in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can be classified into three types: Soft Commitment, Hard Commitment, and Future Commitment. Each type is determined by specific processes and system configurations.


Soft Commitment

  • Does not specify a particular location for inventory removal.
  • Uses the primary location as the default at the time of order entry.

Hard Commitment

  • Typically occurs during the Print Pick Slips process (R42520) but can be triggered at any stage in the sales order process by running Inventory Commitment (R42997).
  • Specifies a location (SDLOCN) or lot (SDLOTN) other than the primary in the Sales Order Detail (F4211) during Sales Order Entry (P4210).

Future Commitment

  • Applies to orders with a future Promised Ship Date (PPDJ) set during Sales Order Entry (P4210).
  • Controlled by the Specific Commitment Days (COMH) field in Branch Plant Constants (P41001).
  • Requires running the Re-Commit Future Orders program (R42995) to reprocess future commitments.
  • Only applies to line types with a Y inventory interface.
  • Excludes non-stock and direct ship lines, which update the Order Amount (OTOT) but are not future committed.

Specific Commitment (Days)

  • Defined by the COMH field in Branch Plant Constants (P41001).
  • Determines when inventory is committed to an order during sales order processing.
  • Calculation:
    • Adds the COMH value to today’s date.
    • Compares the resulting date with the Promised Ship Date (PPDJ) for the order line.
    • If the Pick Date exceeds the calculated date, the order line is future committed.
  • Setting COMH to 999 disables future commitments for a branch.

This framework enables precise inventory control, ensuring alignment with business needs and operational workflows.
