Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000)

Use this session to generate planned PRP purchase orders and planned PRP warehouse orders necessary to:

  • Order goods
  • Rent equipments
  • Mobilize subcontractors

At the start of the generation run, all PRP orders with Planned status are deleted.

The requirements are taken from the control budget. LN creates new planned PRP orders based on the inventory balance for every cost object (per element or per activity).

For materials taken from a normal warehouse, the inventory check is made according to the Check Inventory for Warehouse Deliveries parameter in the Project Planning Parameters (tppss0100s000) session. If insufficient inventory is found in the priority warehouse, as defined in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session, LN searches for inventory in other warehouses.

LN defaults the buyer data in the following order of preference:

  1. The buy-from business partner, defined in the Item - Purchase session.
  2. The buyer defined in the Procurement User Profiles (tdpur0143m000) session.

LN defaults the planner information from the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.

Project warehouse

If you did not define a project warehouse (no default project warehouse defined on element, activity or project), LN suggests a default warehouse of other warehouse clusters that does have sufficient available-to-promise. If the goods need to be delivered to a defined project warehouse, LN can also suggest a default warehouse of other warehouse clusters with sufficient available-to-promise (ATP). However, these warehouse clusters must have a supply relation with the warehouse cluster of the project warehouse.

An inventory reservation (commitment is the term used in Warehousing is made if both of the following is true:

  • The Commit Inventory On field in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session is set to Insert.
  • There is sufficient stock in inventory.

Planned Equipment Request

It is possible to define an equipment as internal for one budget line and as external for another budget line. The PRP must distinguish these budget lines, as the internal equipment budget line must result in a Planned Equipment Request and the external equipment budget line must result in a planned purchase order.

For external equipment, the PRP planning is based on the amount of time. For internal equipment, the PRP plan is based on the quantity in pieces.
Note: 
  • In the equipment budget, it is not possible to define quantities in pieces, only the amount of time can be defined. Infor LN generates the quantity of the planned equipment request as 1. At the same time, this makes the PRP less useful, as in this way the planned equipment request can be generated for the same equipment and project peg only once. But the requirement is always fulfilled after one equipment is delivered.
  • The amount of time in the planned equipment request is copied from the equipment budget line.
  • The On Hire Date is based on the activity budget line start date (corrected to the first working day of the activity or project-based calendar).
  • The Expected Off Hire Date is calculated by adding the difference in hours between the activity finish date and the activity budget line start date till the On Hire Date.
  • The Request Status of the planned equipment request is set to Planned.

Options
Process only the Net Changes in the PRP-Run

If this check box is selected, LN carries out a net change PRP run. The PRP run uses the data resulting from the net change run of the Generate Control Data (tpptc1230m000) session.

Note: The net change PRP run will take less time than a complete generate-planned PRP-order run.
Delete Firm Planned Orders

If this check box is selected, firm planned orders are deleted at the start of the new generation run.

LN only replaces firm planned orders with new planned PRP orders if this is required by inventory balance (that is, by budget, confirmed PRP orders, transferred PRP orders, and delivered purchase orders/transfer orders).

Approve Planned Orders

If this check box is selected, planned orders are confirmed automatically if they fall in the same period as the time fence. (The time fence starts simultaneously with the generation run).

Note: For PRP purchase orders, the evaluated date is the Planned Order Date. For PRP warehouse orders, it is the Delivery Date.
[dy]

The number of days of the time fence for generated orders to be confirmed (5 days = 1 week).

Ignore Rescheduling Messages

If this check box is selected, rescheduling messages are ignored.

[hr]

The number of days of the time fence for ignoring rescheduling messages.

Apply Order Quantity Increment

If this check box is selected, the Order Quantity Increment specified in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) is applied when the planned orders are generated.

Apply Minimum Order Quantity

If this check box is selected, the Minimum Order Quantity specified in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session is applied when the planned orders are generated.

Apply Maximum Order Quantity

If this check box is selected, the Maximum Order Quantity specified in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session is applied when the planned orders are generated.

Use Budget Cost Rate as Purchase Price

If this check box is selected, the budget cost rate is defaulted as the purchase price for the PRP purchase orders during the PRP planning.

Note: 
  • This value is defaulted from the Project Planning Parameters (tppss0100s000) session. However, you can modify this value.
  • In case the multiple budget lines are considered to create one PRP order line, the cost rate of the budget line with the budget date which is before or on the Planned Date of Requirement in the Control Data (Material Lines) (tpptc1535m000) session is defaulted to the Purchase Price in the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session. However, if only the budget line with the budget date after the Planned Date of Requirement exist, the cost rate of the budget line with the budget date closest to the Planned Date of Requirement is defaulted.
  • The Price Origin field in the PRP Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session is set to Budget. However, for Order Management the price origin is set to Project Budget.
  • The Discount Origin field in the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session is set to Not Applicable.
  • The value of the Discount field in the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) session is zero.

However, if only the budget line with the budget date after the Planned Date of Requirement exist, the text of the budget line with the budget date closest to the Planned Date of Requirement is defaulted.
Copy Text from Deliverables

If this check box is selected, the Text from the Project Deliverables (tppdm7100m000) session is defaulted to the Order Text in Planned PRP Warehouse Order (tppss6115m000) and Order Text in Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000) during the PRP planning.
