Firming Planned Orders Through the Material Planner Workbench

With the Material Planner Workbench, you can firm multiple items with multiple orders at one time.

  1. Enter replenishment data on the Material Planner Workbench form, based on the parameters you defined on the Material Planner Workbench Generation form.
  2. Review the information, and then mark orders to be generated.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Select the check box in the Process Line field for each line to be generated.
    • Use the Process Thru Date field.
  4. Click Generate Orders. In the window that displays, set order options as follows:
    Transaction Window Opened
    Purchase Order Firm Purchase Order
    Purchase Requisitions Firm Purchase Requisition
    Job Firm Job Order
    Production Schedules Firm Production Schedule
    MPS Order Firm Master Production Schedule Order
    Transfer Order Firm Transfer Order
  5. To begin order generation, click OK.

    The system processes one record at a time. If an error occurs during the firming process, the system returns you to the Material Planner Workbench form. Any orders that were successfully firmed before the error occurred are removed from the workbench.
