Order recommendation by:
CW x
Month x
or user defined
Order recommendation for next calendar weeks, months or other time units, that can be defined manually.
PATH: MRP > MRP Wizard > Select a scenario and click the Order recommendation button
First slot (e.g. <= CW5) : week at the moment of the MRP run.
second to second to last slot: slots of defined duration (e.g. one week)
last slot: all requirements from the beginning of the last slot until the far future.
Window maintenance_order_browse.psr
Depending on the defined time period for the calculation and the type of time period representation, the system calculates the count of columns. 2–18 periods are displayed then.
In Planning Scenario > Scheduling you can define other time units, for example monthly, bi-weekly or in customized time unit definitions.
Attention! Order proposal date is not the requirement date!
An order proposal corresponds to the requirement date minus the average delivery time, lead time and some buffer days.
In the order recommendation list it is possible to determine the quantity to be ordered automatically, even if the last possible date has not yet been reached. Select the number of buffer days, as well as the desired procurement method. Then, the test starts determining what quantity should be ordered, taking into account the lead time + buffer days (working days):
PATH: MRP > MRP Wizard/Order recommendations > Select a scenario > Order recommendation button > mode button > Pre-assign button.

Calculation
The requirement date (list of peggings) is less or equal to the current date + lead time + buffer days given in working days. The sum of the affected peggings, taking into account the already planned receipts in this period, is the quantity to be ordered or to be produced. The calculated delivery date is, at earliest, the current day (today) + replenishment lead time + buffer days (work days). The determined date is at least one day after current date + replenishment lead time. If the determined day is not a working day, the next working day is identified and proposed. The determined values are entered in the order recommendation item list (upper part) in columns "quantity" and "requirement date". Click the Purchase Request or Production button to complete the process.
Note: This pre-allocation function considers only storage-related assemblies.
Attention: Supplier and price need to be entered prior to the creation of purchase documents. Items without this information are ignored.
Examples for the calculation of the order proposed date with help of the pre-allocation function:
1.
Lead time from the item master appears in the calculation is 20 days.
PATH: MRP > MRP Wizard > Select a scenario and click the Order recommendation button
Window: mrp_view_masterrahmen
2.
Fill PO quantities. Additional days can be entered.
Period = Current day + Lead time (item master) + work days
End of the period = 24.07.2010
The last requirement of 31 pieces from 26.07.2010 is outside the period.
Period = Current day + Lead time (item master) + work days
End of the period = 23.08.2010
The last requirement of 31 pieces from 26.07.2010 is now inside the period.
If by right-clicking on a calendar week the purchase order quantity (field "quantity“) is pre-allocated, the delivery date is also pre-allocated according to the selected calendar week. It is also possible to enter the desired delivery date of the purchase order to be created.
Order multiples
Order multiples (item master) is taken into account.
Example: Order multiple 10
Purchase order recommendation CW of 10: 6 pcs, CW 11: 4 Pcs
Displayed: CW 10: 10 Pcs, CW 11: 0 Pcs
It is always rounded up to the next order multiple and the subsequent purchase is covered by it. Double requests are avoided.
Order possibility
Collective purchase request/collective production request: Right-click on the time heading (CW x), which uses the order quantities for CW x. The requirements are entered in the quantity column. Only entries with corresponding requirements are displayed. For purchase orders the price and the supplier must be entered, for production request only the quantity. Then, the process can be started via "production request" or "order request".
Take over single quantity: If the quantity is to be used for one item, right-click in the CW x column on the corresponding item and choose "order request" or "production request".
This is not possible in collective order mode. For activating the detailed view click on the mode button. Thereafter, data can be completed and the process can be started.
