  "objective": {
    "intro": "The objective of this test is to validate that a scheduled sales order line can be hard-reserved against specific on-hand inventory in Oracle Fusion Order Management, and that the reserved quantity is correctly protected from allocation to other demand.",
    "confirms": [
      "a scheduled order line can be reserved against specific on-hand inventory in the sourced warehouse and subinventory",
      "the reserved quantity is correctly held apart from other demand once reservation completes",
      "available-to-promise correctly reflects the reservation once it is applied",
      "lot- and serial-controlled items can be reserved to the correct lot or serial",
      "Oracle's validations correctly block reservation when on-hand is insufficient, the order is held, or the location is invalid",
      "reservation history and audit trail are recorded for traceability"
    ],
    "scope_note": "This scenario covers hard reservation of a line that has already been scheduled, distinguishing a 'reserved' line — specific on-hand inventory protected for this order — from a merely 'scheduled' line, which is a supply commitment without a hard reservation. Scheduling itself is covered by the separate Schedule Order scenario; the release of reserved inventory to a pick task is covered by the separate Pick Release scenario."
