Generate Orders (TPOP) (whinh2201m000)

Use this session to generate orders to replenish items for specific warehouses. LN generates the orders within an order horizon, based on the item and warehouse combination's safety stock level, and projected on hand.

Note
  • To automatically process warehousing orders of type Transfer (Manual), select the Process Transfer Orders check box.
  • If you generate warehousing orders of the type Transfer (Manual), a report is printed with information on the created order.

 

Order Type
A code that identifies the type of a warehousing order. The default warehousing procedure that you link to a warehousing order type determines how the warehousing orders to which the order type is allocated are processed in the warehouse, although you can modify the default procedure for individual warehousing orders or order lines.

LN uses the warehousing-order type in the current field to generate warehousing orders. If no warehousing-order type is entered, LN uses the default warehousing-order type from the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session based on the warehouse-from and warehouse-to.

Note

You can only enter warehousing-order types with transaction type Transfer.

Order Type
The order type determines which sessions are part of the order procedure and how and in which sequence this procedure is executed.

Default value

LN retrieves the default purchase order type from the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session based on the warehouse-from and warehouse-to.

Number Group
The number group used to generate purchase order numbers.
Order Series
The series used to generate the purchase order numbers.
Factor
The order horizon factor that is defined under TPOP Order Horizon in the Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000) session.

Performance aspects

Using this field may result in a considerable increase of records in your system and may impact system performance. For information on limiting data growth and the use of system resources, see SIC and TPOP order horizons

Constant
The order horizon constant that is defined under TPOP Order Horizon in the Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000) session.

Constant
The order horizon constant unit that is defined under TPOP Order Horizon in the Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000) session.
Include Specifications
If this check box is selected, LN generates supply orders with specifications that match the specification of the demand order.
Max. Number of Orders per Requirement
The maximum number of orders that LN can generate for each requirement. If in a warehouse the projected on hand stock of an item falls below the safety stock, there is a requirement for the difference between the projected on hand stock and the safety stock. Various requirements can arise per day.

The current field and the Maximum Order Quantity field of the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) session determine the number of orders per requirement as follows:

RQ/MOQ = X, unless X > MNOR. If X > MNOR, MNOR = NOR
RQRequirement quantity
MOQMaximum order quantity
XThe number of orders per requirement, unless X > MNOR
MNORThe value of the Max. Number of Orders per Requirement field
NORThe number of orders per requirement if X > MNOR

You can use this field to generate fewer orders than determined by the Maximum Order Quantity of the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) session, for example, if you must replenish a quantity larger than your usual quantity without wanting to process more orders.

Combine within Order Interval
If this check box is selected, LN combines the warehouse orders that fall within the same order interval into a single order line. LN combines the order lines that have the same item and order header information.

In this way, you prevent multiple orders for the same item from being generated if there are only minor differences in requirement dates and times within the same order interval.

You can define the order interval in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) session.

For each Item - Warehouse combination, LN combines the warehouse orders in the following manner:

  1. LN determines the order interval of the item specified in the first warehouse order.

  2. Warehouse orders that fall within the order interval as determined by LN in step 1 are combined into a single order line.

  3. LN determines the order interval of the item specified in second warehouse order.

  4. All other warehouse orders that fall within the order interval as determined by LN in step 2 are combined into a single order line.

LN continues the process until all the warehouse orders are combined.

Combine Warehousing Transfer Orders
If this check box is selected, LN combines order lines with matching header data into a single order header.
Process Transfer Orders
If this check box is selected, the warehouse orders are processed based on the order procedure defined in the order type, after creation. The orders are processed until the first step of the order procedure that must be executed manually is identified.
