Firming Planned Orders

You can convert planned orders to purchase orders, purchase requisitions, job orders, production schedules, or transfer orders.

The table below lists the situations in which the system converts planned orders. For details about how to perform each conversion process, select one of the items in the Converts To column below.

Source Production Type Create PO Req enabled? Converts To
Purchased _ No Purchase Order
Purchased _ Yes Purchase Requisition
Transferred _ _ Transfer Order

During the firming process, the system checks the Material Planner Workbench form for any duplicate records. If any exist, you are asked to delete the duplicate records from the Material Planner Workbench form. If you click OK, firming can continue. If you click Cancel, firming is stopped.
