Generate Purchase Orders (tdsls4241m000)

Use this session to generate purchase orders from sales orders.

With this session, you can generate the following:

  • Direct delivery orders

    You can generate purchase orders for direct delivery sales order lines.

  • Cross-docking orders

    You can generate cross-docking orders. The generated purchase orders have a fixed link with the sales order lines from which they are generated.

  • Hard pegged supply orders

    You can generate hard pegged supply orders for sales orders requesting allocated inventory. As a result, the purchase order line receives the same allocation and hard pegging data as the sales order.

  • Supply orders

    You can generate supply orders for sales orders requesting unallocated inventory. The generated purchase orders have no fixed link with the sales orders from which they are generated. As a result, the use of the received inventory is not limited to specific sales orders. You can, for example, generate these type of purchase orders if you do not use Enterprise Planning, but you perform your own supply planning.

You can start this session from the following sessions:

  • Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000)
  • Sales Order (tdsls4100m900)
  • Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000)
  • Sales Order Planned Delivery Lines (tdsls4101m100)
  • Sales Order Line Status (tdsls4534s000), if Generate Purchase Orders (tdsls4241m000) is the current activity to be carried out.
Note: To generate purchase orders, the Allow Purchase Orders check box must be selected for the sales order type in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session.
