Generate Purchase Orders (tdpur3204m000)

Use this session to generate purchase orders for the planned deliveries of a delivery contract.

You can select a range of contracts or specific contracts for which purchase orders must be generated. To generate purchase orders for specific contracts, click Specific Contract(s) to start the Enter Specific Purchase Contract Numbers (tdpur3820s000) session, in which you can select up to 10 contracts.

To generate purchase orders for another selection of contracts, click Reset Selection. As a result, the selection you made in the Enter Specific Purchase Contract Numbers (tdpur3820s000) session is removed. To make a new selection, click Specific Contract(s).

Note: 
  • Each delivery contract line is converted to a single purchase order.
  • After a purchase order is generated from a delivery contract, the delivery quantity can no longer be changed in the delivery contract.
  • To generate purchase orders from a contract, the contract header and line status must be Active.

The values of the Update Planned Inventory Transactions and the Log Financial Economic Transactions fields in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session, determine whether planned inventory transactions and financial transactions are logged for the contract line.
