Requirements Planning

Use the Requirements Planning module to generate the planned orders for material, equipment, and subcontracting, using the data from the Budgeting and Planning modules.

  • Project Requirements Planning (PRP)

    You can create planned PRP orders and check the price, price origin, discount, and discount origin, if the BP is added or modified in the Planned PRP Purchase Order (Material) (tppss6110m000), Planned PRP Purchase Order (Equipment) (tppss6111m000), Planned PRP Purchase Order (Subcontracting) (tppss6112m000) and Purchase-Budget Detail Line (tpptc4120s000) sessions.

  • Generate planned PRP orders

    A planned PRP order comes from a budget requirement and is an order advice that you can transfer to a purchase or a warehouse order.

  • Additional Selection Ranges PRP Run

    The Project Requirements Planning (PRP) is always run for all the released elements/activities of the projects within the selection. Additional selection ranges can be added to this run:

    • Element/Activity range
    • Cost Type
    • Cost Object

    For example, a person can focus on requirements planning for equipment or subcontracting of a specific part of the project.

  • Use of Budget Information

    To control the availability of budget information for planned orders, these new parameters and settings for PRP run can be used.:

    • The budget price/rate
    • The budget text
    • The project deliverable text

    The Planning parameters default to No, which means that the budget information should not be used. If required, you can change the default settings. If the budget price/rate is used, this is displayed as the price origin on the planned PRP purchase orders.

  • Planned PRP purchase orders

    You can create and control planned purchase orders, purchase schedules, and requests for quotations in Procurement. You can use planned orders for material, equipment, and subcontracting (standard and project cost objects).

    When creating or generating the Planned PRP purchase order, LN defaults the Additional Information fields from the Contract Line, that is linked to the project peg of the planned order.

  • Planned PRP warehouse orders

    Planned warehouse orders are the recommended orders based on the projected budget and projected start date. You create or confirm a planned warehouse order to reserve inventory in any warehouse. If a customized item is manufactured using a production order, the item is stored in a warehouse after it is finished and it needs to be transferred to the project.

    When creating or generating the Planned PRP Warehouse order, LN defaults the Additional Information fields from the Contract Line, that is linked to the project peg of the planned order. If you change the Planned PRP Warehouse order to Purchase order and vice versa, the Additional Information fields are also copied.

  • Rescheduling messages

    Rescheduling messages are displayed or printed when you change the planning or the delivery dates. You can specify whether to cancel or reschedule the orders.

  • Warehouse order - Phantom item link

    You can view the details of phantom items that are linked to warehouse orders.

  • Order history

    In Project, you can examine the order history of a project's purchase and warehouse transactions. In addition, you can view the purchase transactions for equipment and subcontracting.

    You can view the cost-object transaction history for material, equipment, and subcontracting. You can track all purchase orders in Procurement, and track transfer orders in warehousing.

    You can view the cost-object transaction history for material. You can track all purchase orders in Procurement, and track transfer orders in Warehousing. These purchase and transfer orders are delivered to or taken from the project or project warehouse. These purchase and transfer orders are delivered to or taken from the project or project warehouse

  • Cost peg supplying relationships

    You can establish a link between the cost pegs of the project/ company that supplies and receives the project deliverables. This allows you to monitor all the related costs and transactions.

    To transfer the cost pegs from the project:

    • The status of the receiving project must be Free or Active.
    • The Project Pegging check box must be selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session for the receiving company.
    • The item must be cost pegged. If the required item is not cost pegged, LN generates an error message.

  • Integration of Project with Service

    Based on the contract, you may need to provide service requests associated with completed projects. To handle these requests, the project details such as the structure and the materials consumed during the project are transferred to the Service module.

  • Generate service orders

    Service orders are generated in Project. These orders are based on the budget lines created based on the reference activity linked to the project activity.
