Partially Converting Planned Orders  

Use

  2. If you want to carry out several partial conversions, choose .
  3. Enter the quantities and dates.

    4. For the conversion, the system uses the scheduling type defined in Customizing for the order type (and plant) entered. However, you can change it in the individual orders after the conversion.

  4. Choose Generate.

The system generates one process order per line. Since these process orders are not yet saved, they are given temporary order numbers (for example, %0000000001).

As soon as a partial quantity is converted to a process order, the corresponding line on the screen cannot be deleted. To delete, you must cancel the transaction and carry out a new partial conversion.

5. If you want to make further changes in an order, select the line and choose Goto ® Process order. The Create Process Order: Header screen appears. After you have made the changes, choose Back to return to the screen with the partial quantities.

  1. Choose Save.

Result

The system saves the process orders.

A planned order that was partially converted is fixed. A fixed planned order is not changed in an MRP run. Its secondary requirements are reduced in accordance with the partial quantity entered.

If the total of the process order quantities created is smaller than the planned order quantity and the Delete planned order indicator is not set, the planned order quantity is reduced accordingly.

If you do not want to convert any more planned orders, irrespective of the planned order quantity still open, set the Delete planned order indicator.

If the total of the process order quantity created is greater or equal to the planned order quantity, the planned order is deleted.

If the master recipe selection for the process order to be created is controlled via a production version, the system always uses the production version that is valid for the original planned order quantity for a partial conversion.
