Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000)

Use this session to generate planned PRP purchase orders and planned PRP warehouse orders necessary to:

  • Order goods
  • Rent equipments
  • Mobilize subcontractors

At the start of the generation run, all PRP orders with Planned status are deleted.

The requirements are taken from the control budget. LN creates new planned PRP orders based on the inventory balance for every cost object (per element or per activity).

For materials taken from a normal warehouse, the inventory check is made according to the Check Inventory for Warehouse Deliveries parameter in the Project Planning Parameters (tppss0100s000) session. If insufficient inventory is found in the priority warehouse, as defined in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session, LN searches for inventory in other warehouses.

Buyer data

LN defaults the buyer data in the following order of preference:

  1. The buy-from business partner, defined in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session.
  2. The buyer defined in the Purchase User Profiles (tdpur0143m000) session.
Planner data

LN defaults the planner information from the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.

Project warehouse

If you did not define a project warehouse (no default project warehouse defined on element, activity or project), LN suggests a default warehouse of other warehouse clusters that does have sufficient available-to-promise. If the goods need to be delivered to a defined project warehouse, LN can also suggest a default warehouse of other warehouse clusters with sufficient available-to-promise (ATP). However, these warehouse clusters must have a supply relation with the warehouse cluster of the project warehouse.

An inventory reservation (commitment is the term used in Warehousing is made if both of the following is true:

Options
Process only the Net Changes in the PRP-Run
If this check box is selected, LN carries out a net change PRP run. The PRP run uses the data resulting from the net change run of the Generate Control Data (tpptc1230m000) session.
Note

The net change PRP run will take less time than a complete generate-planned PRP-order run.

Delete Firm Planned Orders
If this check box is selected, firm planned orders are deleted at the start of the new generation run.

LN only replaces firm planned orders with new planned PRP orders if this is required by inventory balance (that is, by budget, confirmed PRP orders, transferred PRP orders, and delivered purchase orders/transfer orders).

Approve Planned Orders
If this check box is selected, planned orders are confirmed automatically if they fall in the same period as the time fence. (The time fence starts simultaneously with the generation run).
Note

For PRP purchase orders, the evaluated date is the Planned Order Date. For PRP warehouse orders, it is the Delivery Date.

[dy]
The number of days of the time fence for generated orders to be confirmed (5 days = 1 week).
Ignore Rescheduling Messages
If this check box is selected, rescheduling messages are ignored.
[hr]
The number of days of the time fence for ignoring rescheduling messages.
Reports
Also Warnings
If this check box is selected, LN prints the warnings and the errors on the error report.

If this check box is cleared, LN prints only the errors.
