To handle production-order advice and purchase-order advice

You can generate order advice for items with supply source Purchase or Job Shop in the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session. LN generates an order advice as soon as the item inventory drops below the reorder point. In case of errors, a report is printed.

Purchase orders or purchase schedules

Item settings determine whether purchase orders or purchase schedules are created from purchase-order advice.

If the order system of the item is SIC or Manual and purchase schedules are in use for the item, a purchase schedule is created or added to an existing purchase schedule.

If the order system of the item is SIC or Manual and purchase schedules are not in use, a purchase order is created.

The order system of an item is specified in the Order System field of the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. The setting of the Purchase Schedule in use check box in the Item - Purchase session or the Items - Purchase by Site (tdipu0181m000) session determines whether purchase orders or purchase schedules are created from purchase-order advice generated using the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session.
