Manage Change Requests
With the transactional app Manage Change Requests, you can follow up on changes you have requested from your vendor as well as place requests for changes you have collected. You create change requests when using the apps for managing materials or uncovered requirements. You can request that the vendor change the quantity or delivery date in a purchase order or stock transport order so that material availability can be ensured and customer requirements can be fulfilled. At the end of the process, you either apply the changes, which automatically updates the order, or you discard the request.
By launching the Manage Change Requests app from one of the four delivered tiles, you can manage your change requests according to their status. You can view all your change requests, find your new requests so that you can place them, track your requested changes to enter the vendor’s response and new proposals, and apply or discard the requests that have been answered.
With the Manage Change Requests app, you can do the following:
-
View a list of vendors and contacts from whom you have requested or want to request changes
-
View details of the change requests in a table
-
View additional information about the MRP elements in a quickview
-
Add notes to the change request
-
Send an email to the vendor to request changes
-
Enter the response from your vendor
-
View the stock/requirements situation of the item as a table or as a chart
-
Apply the changes to the purchase order or stock transport order
-
Discard the change request if it is outdated or no longer needed
To improve the performance of the Manage Change Requests app, authorized users can delete closed change requests (with status applied or discarded) from the database by running the report PPMRP_CHANGE_REQUEST_DELETE in the back-end system. For more information, see the report documentation.
In addition, this app supports the following technical features and options. Some of these features require additional components or settings in your system landscape:
