Order Planning

Edit and retain buyer codes on planned purchase orders
Old situation

They buyer code for the planned purchase order is retrieved from the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session. Once the planned order is transferred to Order Management the actual buyer code is determined by Procurement.

New and changed functionality

The Buyer field in planned purchase orders has become editable. Allow Buyer Assignment on Planned Purchase Order has to be selected in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session for the new functionality to be activated.

When the new parameter is selected the Buyer can be manually modified from the buyer value retrieved from the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session to a different buyer code. It is also possible to leave the Buyer field empty; this happens automatically if they buyer is not defined in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session or when manually removed.

Note

When modifying the Buyer field on a planned purchase order the status must be set to ether Firm Planned or Confirmed in order to retain the new values within Enterprise Planning. Should the status remain Planned the modified planned purchase orders will be deleated and regenerated with the next order planning run, regaining the buyer value from the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session record.

The following sessions have been modified and added:

  • In Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) it is now possible to vew all planned orders sorted by Scenario/Buyer.

  • A new session Update Planned Order Assignment (cprrp1260m000) has been added that allows the updating of Buyer and Planner code on a selection of planned purchase orders.

Note

The Update Planned Order Assignment (cprrp1260m000) session only allows the modification of the Buyer value when the Allow Buyer Assignment on Planned Purchase Order parameter has been selected in the Enterprise Planning parameters. When this is not the case only the updating of Planner value on a selection of planned purchase orders is possible.

When selected all the distribution lines will remain visible in Item Order Plan (cprrp0520m000). When the checkbox is cleared demand and supply quantities will be displayed added by order line.
