Handling Perishables Manually 

Purpose

You must have generated a perishables planning list as described in The Perishables Planning Process and defined Purchase order as the processing method.

1. Using the information displayed in the perishables planning list, you obtain a snapshot of the current stock situation, the produce required and that on offer on the market.

For further information, see Determining Requirements for Perishables.

2. You enter the required quantities and the purchase prices for the articles you want to order.

If you need to negotiate with the vendors on the phone, you can have the system call the number directly. For further information, see Buying Perishable Produce Over the Phone.

3. You define the required quantities and delivery dates for the individual recipients.

If you entered an allocation strategy on the initial screen, you can have the system propose quantities to be issued. For further information, see Issue List.

4. You save the perishables planning list.

Depending on how you configured the document category on the Purchase order tab page on the initial screen, the system generates a purchase order, purchase requisition, delivery or sales order for the articles entered in the requested quantities. If you entered quantities for the individual recipients, the system also creates purchase orders, for example, on behalf of the recipients for issue to the site carrying out the planning (these are store orders).

5. You can go to the purchase orders directly from the perishables planning list and change them as required. To do this, choose Environment ® Order document.
