Transferring Planned Orders

For all these types of planned orders and plans, you can define selection criteria for transfer to the execution level.

On the Options tab, you can use several check boxes to determine the order status of the planned order that LN must transfer. By default, LN only transfers planned orders with the Confirmed order status.

Use the Transfer button to start the transfer of the selected planned orders and/or plans.

If you select the Interactive check box, LN does not directly transfer the selected orders, but lists them in the Select Order Planning for Transfer (cppat0210m000) session, where you can make a final selection before the orders are actually transferred.

Transfer Items with order policy To Order

If the Transfer Items with order policy To Order check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning does not transfer the orders for to-order items with an empty project segment. A to-order item is an item of which the order policy is To Order.

Production

If you selected the EP Order Group check box or the Production check box, you can use the Production tab to:

  • Further fine-tune the order selection.
  • Assign order series to the orders.
  • Specify workload constraints.
Note

LN only transfers planned production orders that belong to an order group if you selected the corresponding order group. If you selected the Production check box, and select a planned production order that belongs to an order group, LN does not transfer the order.

Purchase

If you selected the Purchase check box and/or the Distribution check box, you can use the Purchase/Distribution tab to:

  • Further fine-tune the order selection.
  • Assign order series to the orders.
  • Specify multisite data for distribution orders.

Multiple planned purchase orders are combined into one purchase order if the following purchase order header fields are the same:

  • Buy-from Business Partner
  • Purchase Office
  • Purchase Order Type
  • Currency
  • Buyer
  • Planner
  • Reference A
  • Reference B
Important!

The Order Date must also be the same if both the following are applicable:

  • The Log Financial Economic Transactions field is not set to Standard Cost in the Purchase Parameters (tdpur0100m000) sessions.
  • The Use Creation Date as Order Date when generating PO is cleared in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.
Order release

For some planned orders, the Order Release field in the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session is Not to be released. You cannot transfer these planned orders to the execution level, until the Order Release field is set to To be released. These planned orders are used in a vendor managed inventory (VMI) setup.
