Mass-Processing Functions for Planned Orders

Use

The following functions are available for planned orders:

  • Firm/unfirm planned orders

  • Delete planned orders

  • Convert a planned orders

  • Enter confirmations against REM planned orders

  • Carry out material availability check

    Note Note

    You can carry out the material check for planned and production orders simultaneously.

    End of the note.

Integration

In the case of the following mass processing functions, no logs are written to the database:

  • Planned order conversion

  • Firm/unfirm

  • Delete planned order

  • Confirm against planned orders in repetitive manufacturing

Although the system writes a log, for technical reasons it cannot store it in the database. The logs can therefore only be displayed in the same process (mode) in which processing took place.

Prerequisites

You have set the Planned Orders indicator on the Selection tab page.

List Types and Layouts

The following table provides an overview of functions that require certain list types and layouts :

Production list

This list type contains information from the header data of the selected planned orders as well as MRP information such as:

  • Target quantity

  • Yield already confirmed

  • Range-of-coverage data

  • Available quantities

Standard layout confirmation REM

000000000003

Enter confirmations against REM planned orders

Material/production version

With this list type, you can draw up a list of the planned orders for a certain production version of a material. The system then calculates the total quantity of all planned orders for this material. You can restrict selection to the production version of a material and then enter the confirmation for this material, for example.

In the list, the system shows you only the quantities of the selected materials - not the planned orders. When you confirm quantities, the system automatically reduces the quantities of the planned orders in the background.

Confirmation with List Types Order Headers and Production List

Only the confirmation type Enter Confirmation for Order is possible for planned orders. The changeable fields in the confirmation can be made ready to accept input by setting the Switch Confirmation Fields to Changeable. The following fields are then ready to accept input in the output lists of the list types Order Headers and Production List :

  • Confirmation quantity (yield)

  • Scrap quantity

  • Unit of measure

  • Reporting point

  • Scrap type

  • Reason for scrap

  • Receiving batch

  • Posting date

  • Document date

  • Document header text

    Note Note

    If one of these enterable fields in the confirmation is not actually to be ready to accept input or is to be hidden, you can specify this in transaction COISF. For more information, refer to the system documentation on COISF.

    End of the note.

In addition, you can use the Default Values field to specify whether or not the changeable quantity fields are to be prepopulated with default values when the list is displayed.

You can choose between the following options:

  • No default values

  • Suggest fixed values

    If you choose this option, the system shows the fields Reporting Point, Yield, Scrap Quantity, Unit of Measure, Posting date, Document Date, and Document Header Text. You can populate these fields with values which the system then adopts for confirmation against planned orders.

Confirmation with the List Type Material/Production Version

The confirmation with this list type contains the same fields as in the case of the collective entry of confirmations (transaction MF42N). In this list, too, certain fields are ready to accept input if you set the corresponding indicator. This is only possible for the confirmation type Enter Confirmation for Order . The following fields are ready to accept input in the output list:

  • Confirmation quantity (yield)

  • Scrap quantity

  • Unit of measure

  • Reporting point

  • Scrap type

  • Reason for scrap

  • Planned order

    In this field, you can specify the planned order against which the confirmation is to be entered. If you do not specify a planned order here, the system makes the postings for any planned orders for the selected material/production version in the background.

  • Receiving batch

  • Receiving storage location

  • Revision level

  • Production line

  • Planning identification

  • Posting date

  • Document date

  • Document header text
