Planned PRP orders

A planned PRP (Planning Requirement Planning) order is created based on a budget requirement, item information and dates. It is a planned order advice that you can transfer to Procurement or Warehousing.

You can use the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session to generate PRP planned orders. You can also manually create the PRP Orders using the planned PRP purchase order and planned PRP warehouse order sessions. If you generate planned PRP orders, Infor LN considers:

  • Existing deliveries
  • Inventory in the project warehouse
  • Project deliverables
  • Transfer orders
  • Purchase schedules
  • Requests-for-quotation (RFQ)
  • Purchase order advices
  • Purchase orders
  • Approved/firm planned PRP purchase orders
  • Approved/firm planned PRP warehouses orders

All planned PRP orders are generated based on the start date of one of:

  • Activity budget line
  • Element
  • Extension
Note: When creating or generating the Planned PRP purchase order, Infor LN defaults the Additional Information fields from the contract line that is linked to the project peg of the planned order. These are user-defined fields that can be linked to Infor LN tables.

A planned PRP order for a deliverable originates from the Project Deliverables (tppdm7100m000) session and is a demand for the project. This is an order advice to ship goods either to the project customer to another project. The planned PRP warehouse order is transferred as a warehouse order with a ship-to business partner. You can select if an item is ordered from the supplier for a project by a PRP Purchase Order or PRP Warehouse Order or manually using the Project Order System field in the Item - Project (tppdm0105s000) session.

When you generate planned PRP orders, Infor LN considers these deliveries and shipments for a combination of project, element, activity, item, warehouse and ship-to business partner:

  • Existing firm planned/confirmed deliveries to the warehouse
  • Existing actual deliveries to the warehouse
  • Existing firm planned/confirmed shipments to the business partner
  • Existing actual shipments to the business partner

In the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session, you can generate planned PRP orders for material, equipment, and subcontracting. You can split the material orders into purchase orders and warehouse orders. Equipment and subcontracting are always purchase orders. For standard cost objects, such as items, Infor LN can consume inventory by using a planned warehouse order before creating a planned purchase order. This is not possible for the equipment and subcontracting orders.

If you want to track an order, you can view the transactions in these sessions:

  • Order Line Balance (Material) (tppss6500m000)
  • Order Line Balance (Equipment) (tppss6501m000)
  • Order Line Balance (Subcontracting) (tppss6502m000)

You can print the transaction data using the Print Planned Transactions by Cost Object (tppss6400m000) session. If there is a difference between the budget and the ordering of goods or services, Infor LN generates rescheduling messages that notify the changes required on the actual orders and PRP orders.
