Using purchase schedules

The purchase schedule functionality is used for items. To process create a purchase schedule from a PRP purchase order:

  1. Create Project Requirements Planning Purchase Orders in the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session.
  2. Approve the PRP purchase orders using the Approve Planned PRP Purchase Orders (tppss6220m000) session.
  3. Transfer the purchase orders to Procurement using the Transfer Planned PRP Purchase Orders (tppss6230m000) session. The orders are displayed as purchase schedule lines in Procurement and you can manually add extra schedule lines.
    To transfer the lines to actual purchase orders, specify the required information for these fields:
    • A purchase contract for an item in the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session.
    • The scheduling information in the Ship-to Business Partner session (that you can start from the Business Partner session).
    • The address data of the project activity in the Activities (tppss2100m000) session. You can define additional information such as project location, geographical area, GPS co-ordinates and so on.
    • The Ship-to Address in the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session. The address code is used in the integration with purchase schedules.
    Note: 
    • You can buy goods for a project location without specifying a warehouse, which means you can deliver items directly to the project location, while the receipt is handled in Procurement. You can also buy goods through a project warehouse after which the receipt is handled in Warehousing. The project warehouse is a warehouse that is completely dedicated to a project. The inventory of the project warehouse is linked to the project element and activity. The project warehouse cannot be used if cost pegging is used in a project.
    • If goods are delivered to the project warehouse, the address code of the PRP Purchase Order is the address code of the project warehouse by default.
    • If the goods are directly delivered to the location, the Ship-to Address field automatically populated.
