Using planned PRP warehouse orders

Planned warehouse orders are the recommended orders based on the projected budget and projected start date. You can use the generated orders from the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session, or you can manually enter these orders in the Planned PRP Warehouse Order (tppss6115m000) session. You enter or confirm a planned warehouse order to reserve inventory in any warehouse. If the warehouse order is for a customized item, Manufacturing makes it and stores it in a warehouse.

The planned orders for material are not final. If the delivery dates or the budget change, you can maintain the orders in the Planned PRP Warehouse Order (tppss6115m000) session. This session allows you to manually enter and change these orders from a warehouse to a project or from a project to a warehouse.

For deliverables, planned warehouse orders are the recommended orders based on the Project Deliverables (tppdm7100m000) session. You can use the generated orders from the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session, or you can manually enter these orders in the Planned PRP Warehouse Order (tppss6115m000) session. You can create orders to perform these tasks:

  • Ship deliverables straight to a business partner.
  • Ship deliverables to a business partner via a warehouse.
  • Transfer deliverables to another warehouse.
To confirm planned warehouse orders

You must confirm the planned warehouse orders to change them into actual orders. Confirmed means the orders are approved for transfer by the appropriate person. Three methods can confirm the order lines:

  • Manually confirmed in the Planned PRP Warehouse Order (tppss6115m000) session
  • Globally confirmed in the Approve Planned PRP Warehouse Orders (tppss6225m000) session
  • Confirmed and transferred in the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session
To transfer planned warehouse orders

In the Transfer Planned PRP Warehouse Orders (tppss6235m000) session you can transfer confirmed warehouse orders to Warehousing. Release transfer orders to allocate inventory to the project.

To change planned warehouse orders into planned purchase orders

You can change planned warehouse orders into planned purchase orders in the Transfer Warehouse Order to Planned PRP Purchase Order (tppss6215m000) session. If the cost of transferal between warehouses at different locations is higher than the cost of ordering directly to the project, use this session to purchase the item instead of consuming it from inventory in stock. In this situation, you must then purchase the project items without filling the order from the warehouse.
