HI Madhu

With respect to open POs, I am not sure if you can differentiate between open POs or partially delivered POs. You will only find the remaining quantity if it is a partially delivered PO or the entire quantity if it is not delivered. you can use reports like receipts view, product view, to view the open or partially delivered POs.

Let me know if this suits your requirement.

Hi ,

In R3 you can use the Firming type to firm the proc proposals created in MRP run..This can be defined via MRP Type P1,P2,P3,P4

as well as M0, M1,M2,M3,M4(MPSPlanning)

Firming type determines how the proc proposals are to be firmed and scheduled with in the planning time fence.

Firming type 0,1,2,3,4 are available in R3 which has their own firming strategy.

On APO side the following status available

1. Firmed Output

2 .Firmed Input

3.Fixed date and time.

Firmed output:

All the receipt elements in the order are PP Firmed. Not possible to change quantities.Can be manually set

Firmed input:

The BOM componets for the production orders are firmed.

Fixed date and time:

The date and time of the resource assignements for individaula operations are firmed.
