Generate Orders (TPOP) (whinh2201m000)

Use this session to generate orders to replenish items for specific warehouses. LN generates the orders within an order horizon, based on the item and warehouse combination's safety stock level, and projected on hand.

Note: 
  • To automatically process warehousing orders of type Transfer (Manual), select the Process Warehousing Transfer Orders check box.
  • If you generate warehousing orders of the type Transfer (Manual), a report is printed with information on the created order.

Field Information

Order Type

warehousing-order type

LN uses the warehousing-order type in the current field to generate warehousing orders. If no warehousing-order type is entered, LN uses the default warehousing-order type from the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session based on the warehouse-from and warehouse-to.

Note: You can only enter warehousing-order types with transaction type Transfer.
Order Type

purchase order type

Default value

LN retrieves the default purchase order type from the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session based on the warehouse-from and warehouse-to.

Number Group

The number group used to generate purchase order numbers.

Order Series

The series used to generate the purchase order numbers.

Factor

The order horizon factor that is defined under TPOP Order Horizon in the Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000) session.

Performance aspects

Using this field may result in a considerable increase of records in your system and may impact system performance. For information on limiting data growth and the use of system resources, see SIC and TPOP order horizons

Constant

The order horizon constant that is defined under TPOP Order Horizon in the Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000) session.

Constant

The order horizon constant unit that is defined under TPOP Order Horizon in the Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000) session.

Include Specifications

If this check box is selected, LN generates supply orders with specifications that match the specification of the demand order.

Maximum Number of Orders per Requirement

The maximum number of orders that LN can generate for each requirement. If in a warehouse the projected on hand stock of an item falls below the safety stock, there is a requirement for the difference between the projected on hand stock and the safety stock. Various requirements can arise per day.

The current field and the Maximum Order Quantity field of the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session determine the number of orders per requirement as follows:

RQ/MOQ = X, unless X > MNOR. If X > MNOR, MNOR = NOR
RQ Requirement quantity
MOQ Maximum order quantity
X The number of orders per requirement, unless X > MNOR
MNOR The value of the Maximum Number of Orders per Requirement field
NOR The number of orders per requirement if X > MNOR
Examples
Requirement quantity 1000 1000 2000 1000 1000
Maximum Order Quantity 250 250 250 250 1000
Maximum Number of Orders per Requirement 4 3 3 7 3
Number of orders generated 4 3 3 4 1
Quantity per generated order 4 x 250 2 x 250 and 1 x 500 2 x 250 and 1 x 1500 4 x 250 1 x 1000

You can use this field to generate fewer orders than determined by the Maximum Order Quantity of the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session, for example, if you must replenish a quantity larger than your usual quantity without wanting to process more orders.

Combine within Order Interval

If this check box is selected, LN combines the warehouse orders that fall within the same order interval into a single order line. LN combines the order lines that have the same item and order header information.

In this way, you prevent multiple orders for the same item from being generated if there are only minor differences in requirement dates and times within the same order interval.

You can define the order interval in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session.

For each Item - Warehouse combination, LN combines the warehouse orders in the following manner:

  1. LN determines the order interval of the item specified in the first warehouse order.

  2. Warehouse orders that fall within the order interval as determined by LN in step 1 are combined into a single order line.

  3. LN determines the order interval of the item specified in second warehouse order.

  4. All other warehouse orders that fall within the order interval as determined by LN in step 2 are combined into a single order line.

LN continues the process until all the warehouse orders are combined.

Combine Warehousing Transfer Orders

If this check box is selected, LN combines order lines with matching header data into a single order header.

Activate Warehousing Transfer Orders

If this check box is selected, the transfer order is created and activated after you click Generate in the current session. When an order is activated, the status is changed from Planned to Open.

Process Warehousing Transfer Orders

If this check box is selected, the transfer orders are processed automatically according to the steps in the warehousing-order type.
