A receipt element of an order can be firmed for procurement planning.This PP-firming of the receipt element can be triggered manually by the user or automatically by the system.The system cannot change a PP-firmed receipt.Therefore, the system cannot change the receipt quantity or delete the receipt, even if the requirements have changed.However, you can manually change a PP-firmed receipt or undo the PP-firming under specific circumstances.
The receipts in an external procurement order with several schedule lines are always PP-firmed.You cannot undo the PP-firming.
It is also possible, with specific prerequisites, to reexplode the plan for an in-house production order with a PP-firmed receipt.
If a receipt from an order has the status
PP-firmed
, the system also automatically sets the
PP-firmed
indicator in the order header.The order also automatically acquires the order status
Firmed output
. Conversely, if the order acquires the order status
Firmed output
, the system sets the status
PP-firmed
for the order receipts
.
There is a 1:1 relationship between the order status
Firmed output
and the receipt status
PP-firmed
.
You can manually firm a receipt as follows:
By setting the
Firmed output
indicator for the order in the order processing view
By choosing
Set PP-Firming
for the receipt in the product view or receipts view
The system automatically sets the
PP-firmed
status for the receipt in an in-house production order or an external procurement order with a schedule line:
If it is a receipt from an SNP order that lies after the PP/DS horizon
If the availability date/time of the receipt lies in the planning time fence or reaches the planning time fence
If you manually change the receipt, for example:
If you change the date/time, the quantity, or the source
If you set the conversion indicator
If the order acquires one of the following firming statuses :
Firmed output
Firmed input
Fixed date
These are order statuses, unlike the receipt status PP-firmed.
If the order has one of the following order execution statuses:
Released
Started
Partially confirmed
Finally confirmed
Partially delivered

In the following cases, you can undo the PP-firming of a receipt.The system can therefore change the receipt quantity of the receipt again or delete the receipt.
