Purchase planning in Enterprise Planning

You can use Enterprise Planning for the logistic planning of items that you purchase from business partners.

In Enterprise Planning, purchase volumes are planned in the following way:

Within the master-planning horizon, purchase is planned in the form of a purchase plan.
Within the order horizon, purchase is planned in the form of planned purchase orders.

Note:

If you wish, you can convert a purchase plan to planned purchase orders in the Convert Master Plan to Planned Orders (cprmp2240m000) session.

You can use the Transfer Order Planning (cppat1210m000) session to transfer a batch of planned purchase orders and/or purchase plans to the execution level of LN. Here the planned orders become actual purchase orders. In addition, you can use the Transfer Planned Production Orders (cppat1211m000) session to transfer one specific planned purchase order from the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session to the execution level.
