Per feedback from Lightspeed, it would help to have an ability to reserve many orders at once in Demand Manager

From my investigation for #212, this is what currently happens when you reserve 1 order line in the Demand Manager:

• The inventory table is updated, incrementing qty_reserved by the appropriate amount for the current location (involocation) and desired product (partnumber)
• The demands table is updated several times for the selected order line (with database ID uid):
  • increment qty_reserved by the appropriate amount
  • update wolocation to be the current workcenter
  • update process_status to PARTIAL RESERVE or RESERVED according to whether the quantity reserved qty_reserved meets the quantity ordered qty
• The transport table gets a new row with status = 'RESERVED' and wo set to the uid for the appropriate order line from demands

If we want to do a batch reservation, we'll need to think about how we can do this for multiple order lines in a robust way.

@ianslai good summary. Probably a good idea to introduce a confirmation screen in there which would display the total number of items about to be reserved, as well as how many would be remaining in the inventory as a result

per conversation with John Rousseau I do not think we need to do this. Now that Ian has 1. retained filtering parameters after reserving and 2. implemented "Address Filtering", the work flow is sufficiently speedy to reserve lots of items with the same filter parameters. Suggest we close this issue.
