Use

In certain cases if can be useful to convert partial quantities of a planned order to a production order rather than the whole quantity. This is the purpose of the partial conversion function.

With a partial conversion the planned order quantity can be split into as many partial quantities as you like. A separate production order is generated for every partial quantity. Thus partial lots of a planned order can, as required, flow into production on different dates.

Integration

You can call up the function for partial conversion in the following places:

Features

A planned order that is partly converted is fixed. A fixed planned order can no longer be changed by a planning run. Its secondary requirements are reduced according to the partial quantity entered.

The planned order remains until the indicator Delete planned order is set.

The Delete planned order indicator can be set in two ways:

Note

If a partial conversion is carried out and the routing selection or bill of material selection for the production order is controlled by a production version, then the production version is always used that is valid for the original planned order quantity.

Caution

Partial conversion can only occur simultaneously for all partial quantities. If errors occur for one or more partial quantities, then those partial quantities without errors are also not converted. For example, a manual termination when a routing is being selected is also regarded as an error.
