The Inventory file Assignment/Release/Transfer functions give you control over the number and type of Move Requests that will move a specific member.
When an Inventory Member is assigned to a CA‑PanAPT user, no other user can have it assigned. Users can add the member to any number of Move Requests. CA‑PanAPT relies on the user to determine when it is appropriate to add a member to more than one Move Request.
When an Inventory Member is released, it is then available for any user to assign and include in a Move Request.
The Inventory Member Transfer does a release from the currently assigned‑to user and an assignment to the new user.
You can set your Inventory file utilization up so that Inventory Records must be Assigned to a user before they can be processed in Move Requests. Or you can set up the Inventory file Assignment/Release scenario so that it is automatic. In that case CA‑PanAPT does the assignment when a member is added to a Move Request and releases the member when it is moved to Production. If a member has been added to several Move Requests, it is reassigned to another Move Request when the first Move Request is moved to Production. The member can also be reassigned to another user, based on the value of the Reassign/Transfer flag in the Control file.
You specify Inventory assignment and release options as part of the Library Code definition. Different Library Codes can use different Inventory options.
