Release PR to ECC as planned order

[Former Member]

Hi expert

We have a scenario that In SNP there is forecast, and then heuristics run to generate the DR (Planned) – Purchase requisitions to vender and release to ECC.

My client has a requirement that don’t want the PR release to ECC immediately for business reason.

So, I am not able to set SNP global setting to transfer from SNP to ECC periodically, since it is global setting and other business using APO need transfer immediately.

The questions is how to release the PR to ECC as planned order ( not the production one) , the one when you run MRP in ECC, in certain period system generate the Planned order which can be convert to PR , thanks.

Thanks James.

Hi James,

External procurement replenishment order are always purchase requisitions in APO.. You can create planned order for external procurement in ECC when you run the MRP, but this options is not available in APO.

So it is not possible to release APO Purchase Requisitions as planned orders in ECC.

This notes explains this:

212277
- APO-CIF: NB planned orders are not transferred
