Conversion of Planned Orders 

Use

Planned orders as internal planning elements only serve for planning purposes and do not trigger any procurement themselves. The system only triggers procurement, once these are converted into fixed receipt elements.

Integration

You have two options for converting the planned orders:

If you double-click on a planned order in the respective list, a dialog box with details for the planned order and the different options for conversion appears.

Features

The planned orders are converted as follows:

Discrete manufacturing, external procurement

Planned order ® Purchase requisition

The purchase requisition is then converted into a purchase order by Purchasing. It is only a fixed receipt element, once it is converted into a purchase order.
