How to use planned PRP purchase orders

You can create and control planned purchase orders, purchase schedules, and requests for quotations in Procurement.

The planned orders are generated in the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session or maintained manually (firm planned) in the Planned PRP Purchase Orders (tppss6810m000) session.

Planned orders are possible for material, equipment, and subcontracting (standard and project cost objects). Equipment and subcontracting are always purchase orders.

You can confirm a selection of planned PRP purchase orders in the Approve Planned PRP Purchase Orders (tppss6220m000) session. When you have confirmed the selection, you can transfer it to Procurement and create an actual purchase order. Confirmation means the order has been approved for transfer by the authorized person or the project manager.

You can transfer PRP purchase orders and/or purchase budget lines (defined in the purchase budget in the Budgeting module) to Procurement with the Transfer Planned PRP Purchase Orders (tppss6230m000) session. A planned purchase order can also be transferred to a planned warehouse order in the Transfer Purchase Order to Planned PRP Warehouse Order (tppss6210m000) session.

If the budget or planning dates change, LN generates rescheduling messages to alter PRP orders or project orders that have already been transferred.
