Overview of purchase order commingling

You can commingle purchase orders that have the following origins:

  • Enterprise Planning.
  • The Job Shop Control module.
  • Project.
  • Warehousing.
  • The Sales Control module.
  • Service.
  • Request for quotations (RFQs).

If you create a purchase order in one of the preceding origins, LN can commingle various purchase orders from different origins in the Purchase Control module.

Commingling conditions

Before you can commingle purchase orders, the following must be applicable:

  • In the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session, the Commingling For check box is selected for the purchase order's origin.
  • In the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session, the For Commingling check box is selected for the item and business partner entered on the order line.
Purchase orders for commingling

If the commingling conditions are met, for the purchase orders that are waiting for commingling, the For Commingling check box is selected in the following sessions:

  • Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000)
  • Purchase Order (tdpur4100m900)
  • Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000)
  • Purchase Order Line Details (tdpur4101m200)

To view the purchase orders that are waiting for commingling, filter on the For Commingling check box in these sessions.

You must commingle the purchase orders in the Commingle Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m000) session and approve the commingled purchase orders.

Note
  • If the commingling conditions are not met, LN generates normal purchase orders in the Purchase Control module.
  • You cannot approve purchase orders that are waiting for commingling before they are actually commingled.
