Blanket warehousing orders based on push schedules

If, in Purchase Control, a push schedule is generated, LN generates a blanket warehousing order.

Blanket warehousing order and order line characteristics:

• The Contract Date is similar to the Contract Date in the Purchase Contracts (tdpur3100m000) session on which the push schedule is based. If the push schedule is not linked to a purchase contract, the Effective Date from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session is defaulted as the Contract Date in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session.
• An Ordered Quantity that is equal to the Agreed Quantity on the purchase contract line. If the push schedule is not linked to a purchase contract, the Ordered Quantity is the time between the Effective Date and the Expiry Date times the Supplier Capacity, as retrieved from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
• The Hard Stop on Date field is set to No, because date tolerances are not used for blanket warehousing orders.

To change a blanket warehousing order

If items are not yet received for a blanket warehousing order, Purchase Control can be used to update this data in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session:

• The ship-from business partner as specified in the Ship-from Code field of the Ship-from group box.
• The warehouse as specified in the Ship-to Code field in the Ship-to group box.
• The purchase office as specified in the Office field.
• Select or clear the Consignment check box, and, thus, indicate whether the blanket warehousing order is required for consignment inventory.
• The business partner's order reference as specified in the Reference field.
• Add or change the order header text.
• The Item.
• The Effectivity Unit.

If items are received for a blanket warehousing order, Purchase Control cannot be used to change the order and order lines.

Receipts based on blanket warehousing orders

An expected quantity of a receipt line for a blanket warehousing order is always zero. If no advance shipment notice (ASN) is used, the default received quantity and packing slip quantity are also zero. You can specify or change the received quantity and the packing slip quantity in the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session.

If you confirm or correct a receipt for a blanket warehousing order in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) or the Receipt Correction (whinh3121s000) session, LN updates:

• The purchase receipt data in the Purchase Schedule - Receipts (tdpur3115m200) session.
• The cumulated received quantity for the blanket warehousing order. You can view the cumulated received quantity in the Received Quantity field of the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session.

Inspection and handling of rejected items

If you perform an inspection for items that are received for a blanket warehousing order, LN uses the inspection results to update the purchase receipt data in the Purchase Schedule - Receipts (tdpur3115m200) session.

LN handles rejected inventory that is received for a blanket warehousing order differently when compared to the rejected inventory that is received for other warehousing orders:

• If, during inspection, you reject items that are received based on a blanket warehousing order, LN does not create a back order.
• If you assign dispositions Use As Is or No Fault Found to quarantine inventory in the Quarantine Inventory Overview (whwmd2171m000) session, LN creates a new receipt line for the blanket warehousing order for which these items were originally received.

Close and delete blanket warehousing orders

If the status of a purchase schedule is Termination in Process or Terminated, you can no longer receive items based on this purchase schedule. In this case, you must close the blanket warehousing order. The two methods to close a blanket warehousing order:

• In the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session, create a receipt with quantity zero and the Final Receipt check box selected.
• In the Receipt Correction (whinh3121s000) session, correct the last receipt line for the blanket warehousing order by selecting the Final Receipt check box. To start the Receipt Correction (whinh3121s000) session, in the Warehouse Receipt Lines (whinh3512m100) session, select the last receipt line for the blanket warehousing order and, on the appropriate menu, choose Correct Receipt Line.

Purchase Control can be used to delete blanket warehousing orders for which no items are received. You can delete a blanket warehousing order in Warehousing, for which these conditions are applicable:

• The Final Receipt check box in the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session is selected.
• The received inventory is completely processed and put away.
• The rejected inventory is processed. See Quarantine inventory.

Planned inventory transactions for push schedules

The planned inventory transactions for push schedules are indicated by the push schedule's position number and sequence number instead of the zero position number and sequence number as used for blanket warehousing orders.
