Create Planned Order Manually (SAP Library - Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP))

Create Planned Order Manually

Use

As a rule, planned orders are generated automatically during a planning run. However, it may be necessary to create planned orders manually, for example, if you want to procure materials independently from requirements.

Procedure

Starting from the Material Requirements Planning node, choose Planned order ® Create.

The initial screen for creating a planned order now appears.

Enter a planned order profile.

The planned order profile determines, amongst other things, the order type, the procurement type, and the special procurement type of the planned order.

If necessary, also enter the number of a planned order, from which you want to copy data.

All data from this planned order is copied into the new planned order. You can overwrite this data.

Choose

The detail screen for the planned order appears.

The system sets the order type and special procurement type automatically according to the planned order profile. You cannot change these fields.

Enter data as required.

It is sufficient to enter just the order finish date or the order start date. The system then calculates the missing date automatically using the scheduling data.

Choose .

The system calculates missing dates and enters them. If a goods receipt processing time has been entered in the material master record for this material, it is set as the default value in the GR processing time field. You can change this value or, if the field is blank, enter a value. This entry has no effect on the value in the material master.

The planning plant is transferred automatically as the production plant.

The following indicators are set as default values:

The planned order is automatically flagged as convertible in the Conversion indicator field. This enables the later conversion to a production order for in-house production, or to a purchase requisition for external procurement.
As you manually created the planned order, it is automatically flagged as firmed in the Firming screen area. Firmed planned orders are not changed by the system in a subsequent planning run.

If required, enter further parameters:

BOM explosion number

Production version

You can enter the production version directly in the Production version field. If you use the quota arrangement system, you can display which production version is to be used next according to the quota arrangement. To do this, select Edit ® Assign version.

Sales order or WBS element, for planned orders that are assigned to the sales order account or to the project account

For this, choose the tab index Assignment.

Choose Components.

The component overview appears. The system explodes the BOM and copies the BOM items into the planned order as components automatically.

Bearbeiten Sie ggf. If necessary, process the components for the planned order (see Process Components in Planned Order).

Choose and save the planned order.
