How to use purchase schedules

The Purchase Schedule process:

1. Create Project Requirements Planning Purchase Orders in the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session.
2. Approve these PRP purchase orders.
3. Transfer the orders. The orders appear as purchase schedule lines in Procurement. You can manually enter extra schedule lines.

To make the lines actual purchase orders, specify the required information for these fields:

1. Enter a purchase contract for an item.
2. Enter the scheduling information in the Ship-to Business Partner (tccom4111s000) session (that you can start from the Business Partner (tccom4100s000) session).
3. In the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session, find the Ship-to Address field. The address code is used in the integration with purchase schedules.

Use a warehouse or not?

• You can buy goods for a project site without specifying a warehouse, which means you can deliver items directly to the project site, while the receipt is handled in purchasing. You can also buy goods through a project warehouse after which the receipt is handled in Warehousing.
• If goods are delivered to the project warehouse, the address code of the PRP Purchase Order is the address code of the project warehouse by default.
• If the goods are directly delivered to the site, the Ship-to Address field automatically gets the value entered in the Ship-to Address field of the project.
