Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval

In this step, you can define:

• Whether changes to the order header are recorded using documents and are displayed in the form of an action log

• The increment at which numbers for the individual operations should be assigned

• Whether a multi-item purchase requisition (collective purchase requisition) should be generated for external material and operations for each order

• Whether a workflow should be generated for changes to dates and quantities for components not held in stock, operations processed externally and external elements, if a purchase requisition is already available

• Whether certain order types are maintained using a PDC system

• Whether reservations or purchase requisitions relevant to materials planning should be generated:

Example

You define an increment of '05'.

This means that the operation numbers are assigned in the sequence '05', '10', and so on.

If you do not make settings for the increment, the operation numbers are assigned in increments of 10.

If you do not flag the collective purchase requisition field, an internal purchase requisition with an item is generated for each external operation and external material.

The field Reservation/purchase requisition is not selected. The result is that purchase requisitions are only generated when the order is released, and reservations only become relevant to materials planning once the order has been released.

Note

The changes to the order header record, in particular, which system user has set which order status.

Therefore, if you want to know who released or completed an order, you must enter an 'X' here for the relevant order type.

Reservation/purchase requisition indicator

If this field is flagged, reservations/purchase requisitions for external operations which are relevant to materials planning are generated when the order is created, and not when the order is released.

This setting is copied to the order header as a default value and can be changed by the order processor in the order.

You should always deactivate this indicator if you create orders with a long lead time and rescheduling is expected within this time.

You can thereby avoid unwanted and frequent changes to materials planning before the order is released.
