Conversion of Planned Orders (SAP Library - Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP))

Conversion of Planned Orders

Use

Planned orders as internal planning elements only serve for planning purposes and do not trigger any procurement themselves. The system only triggers procurement, once these are converted into fixed receipt elements.

Integration

You have two options for converting the planned orders:

over the MRP menu
over the MRP list or the stock/requirements list.

If you double-click on a planned order in the respective list, a dialog box with details for the planned order and the different options for conversion appears.

Features

The planned orders are converted as follows:

Discrete manufacturing, external procurement	Planned order ® Purchase requisition The purchase requisition is then converted into a purchase order by Purchasing.
