Firm Material Requirements Planning Planned Orders

Use this screen to convert planned orders generated by the Update Master Production Schedules, Manage Master Production Schedules, and/or Update Materials Requirements Plan screens into purchase requisitions, manufacturing orders, and transfer reservations.

The process selects and groups planned orders using the criteria listed below, and applies part and MRP settings lot-sizing rules as necessary. Once a planned order is firmed/released into a requisition, manufacturing order or reservation, it is deleted, along with the associated MRP/MPS action message. Inventory on-order, on-requisition, reserved and owed quantities are also updated when the manufacturing orders, requisitions and reservations are generated.

This application populates new RQ_LN_PO columns with the PO Type, Completed Work Retention Percent and Stored Materials Retention Percent if the row is inserted by the process for purchase agreement logic using suggested blanket orders.

Note: During requisition generation, the preferred vendor must not be flagged as a payroll vendor, and its Approval Code must not be Not Approved or Pending. The vendor's Vendor Status for PO must not be On Hold.

You can generate a trial run report listing the manufacturing orders, requisitions, and reservations that would be created.

If you run the process, these reports produce a log of all objects generated during the current execution.
