Requirements Planning

Use the Requirements Planning module to generate planned orders for material, equipment, and subcontracting, by using data supplied from the Budgeting and Planning modules and project planning.

  • A planned PRP order comes from a budget requirement and is an order advice that you can transfer to a purchase or a warehouse order.

  • Rescheduling messages are displayed when you change the planning or the delivery dates. You can specify whether to cancel or reschedule the orders.

  • You can create and control planned purchase orders, purchase schedules, and requests for quotations in Procurement. You can use planned orders for material, equipment, and subcontracting (standard and project cost objects).

  • Planned warehouse orders are the recommended orders based on the projected budget and projected start date. You create or confirm a planned warehouse order to reserve inventory in any warehouse. If a customized item is manufactured using a production order, the item is stored in a warehouse after it is finished.

  • Warehouse order - Phantom item link

    You can view the details of phantom items that are linked to warehouse orders.

  • In Project, you can examine the order history of a project's purchase and warehouse transactions. In addition, you can view the purchase transactions for equipment and subcontracting.

  • Delivered order lines (Material)

    You can view the cost-object transaction history for material. You can track all purchase orders in Procurement, and track transfer orders in Warehousing. These purchase and transfer orders are delivered to or taken from the project or project warehouse.

  • Service orders are generated in Project. These orders are based on the budget lines created based on the reference activity linked to the project activity.

  • Cost peg supplying relationships

    You can establish a link between the cost pegs of the project/ company that supplies and receives the project deliverables. This allows you to monitor all the related costs and transactions.

    To transfer the cost pegs from the project:

    • The status of the receiving project must be Free or Active.
    • The Project Pegging check box must be selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session for the receiving company.
    • The item must be cost pegged. If the required item is not cost pegged, Infor LN generates an error message.
  • Based on the contract, you may need to provide service requests associated with completed projects. To handle these requests, the project details such as the structure and the materials consumed during the project are transferred to the Service module.
