Purchase Order Advice (whina3110m000)

Use this session to view and maintain purchase-order advice that was generated using the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session.

You can also use this session to manually create purchase-order advice.

 

Order

A recommendation based on the economic stock and the reorder point of an item. Purchase order advices must be confirmed and transferred to convert them into actual purchase orders.

Confirmed

If this check box is selected, the purchase-order advice is confirmed and you can convert the purchase-order advice into an actual purchase order using the Transfer Purchase Order Advice (whina3212m000) session. You can make no more changes after the purchase order has been converted.

If this check box is cleared, the purchase-order advice is not confirmed and you cannot convert the purchase-order advice into an actual purchase order. LN removes the purchase-order advice when the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session is run for this order.

This is a display field.

Note

If a text note is added to the advice, the check box is selected by the system.

Item Data
Item

The item for which the purchase-order advice is generated.

Effectivity Unit

A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item.

LN does not specify the effectivity unit when the purchase order advice is generated using the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session. You can afterwards manually specify the effectivity unit.

You can only specify an effectivity unit if the item is unit effective. You can specify whether the item is unit effective in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session.

Ordered Quantity
Ordered Quantity

The quantity of the item to be purchased.

To retrieve the default order quantity, on the appropriate menu, choose Default.

The session from which LN retrieves the default order quantity is determined by the Use Item Ordering Data check box in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

If the Use Item Ordering Data check box is selected, LN retrieves the default order quantity from the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session based on the order method as specified in the Method field. If the order method is:

  • Lot for Lot, the default order quantity is one.
  • Economic Order Quantity, the default order quantity is the value of the Economic Order Quantity field in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session.
  • Fixed Order Quantity, the default order quantity is the value of the Fixed Order Quantity field in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session.
  • Replenish to Maximum Inventory, the default order quantity is the value of the Maximum Inventory field in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session minus the economic stock.

If the Use Item Ordering Data check box is cleared, LN retrieves the default order quantity from the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session based on the order method as specified in the Order Method field. If the order method is:

  • Lot for Lot, the default order quantity is one.
  • Economic Order Quantity, the default order quantity is the value of the Economic Order Quantity field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.
  • Fixed Order Quantity, the default order quantity is the value of the Fixed Order Quantity field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.
  • Replenish to Maximum Inventory, the default order quantity is the value of the Maximum Inventory field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session minus the economic stock.
Order Unit

The unit used on the originating order.

Quantity in Inventory Unit

The ordered quantity expressed in the inventory unit.

Unit

The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.

Purchase Data
Buy-from Business Partner

The business partner from whom you order goods or services; this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner.

Ship-from Business Partner

The business partner that ships the ordered goods to your organization. This usually represents a supplier's distribution center or warehouse.

Delivery Date

The date on which the inventory is issued from the replenishment warehouse and transported to the destination warehouse.

To retrieve the default delivery date, on the appropriate menu, choose Default.

To determine the delivery date, LN first sums the following lead times as specified in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session:

  • Internal Processing Time
  • Safety Time
  • Supply Time

LN then adds the total lead time to the order date, taking into account the company's actual calendar.

Note

LN does not take into account the Safety Time as specified in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session.

The employee responsible for buying the item. The buyer has a key role in selections in a variety of sessions.

Purchase Order

The purchase order number to which the purchase order advice is linked when the Transfer Purchase Order Advice (whina3212m000) session is run. LN uses the purchase order number to update the purchase order specified. If the purchase order number is blank, LN creates a new purchase order.

Note

However, even if a purchase order number is inserted in this field, the purchase order advice is only linked to a purchase order present in the system if:

  • The purchase office from your user profiles or from the buy-from business partner matches the purchase office of the purchase order.
  • The buyer inserted for the purchase order advice matches the purchase order.

If no buyer is inserted for the purchase order advice, LN sets a default buyer for the purchase order advice.

If the purchase office or the (default) buyer does not match any of the purchase orders present in the system, LN generates a new purchase order.

The user profile purchase office is taken from the User Profiles (whwmd1540m000) session, and the buy-from business partner's purchase office is taken from the buy-from business partner inserted in the Buy-from Business Partner field of the current session. You can maintain purchase offices for buy-from business partners in the Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000) session.
