Collective Conversion Converting Planned Orders into Purchase Requisitions

If you use the collective conversion function, you can convert several planned orders into purchase requisitions in one step. To to this, proceed as follows:

1. Starting from the menu screen of material requirements planning, select Planned order
® Convert ® pur.req. ® Collective conversion.

The initial screen for collective conversion now appears.

2. Enter the MRP controller number and the plant.

If you want to narrow down the selection further, you can also enter the planned opening date in the Planned opening field and/or the procurement type in the Procurement field.

3. Press
ENTER.

A list of all the planned orders which correspond to your selection criteria now appears.

4. Mark the planned orders you want to convert.

The planned orders are marked for conversion and marked with a check mark in the selection column.

5. Then to convert the selected planned orders into purchase requisitions, select Planned orders
® Save.

If necessary information is missing for the creation of a purchase requisition, the system interrupts the conversion and branches off into the details screen for individual conversion. Here, you can then add the missing data. After pressing ENTER again, the system will then continue with the conversion of the remaining planned orders.

To avoid the conversion being interrupted, you can predefine proposed dates for the purchase requisition. To do this, proceed as follows:

a. Select Edit ® Pur.req.default data in the screen with the list of the marked planned orders.

A pop-up window now appears where you must enter the default data.

b. Enter the data to be taken over into the purchase requisitions. This data applies to all purchase requisitions created during conversion.

c. Press ENTER .

The entered data is taken over and you then return to the list of planned orders.

d. To convert the planned orders, select Planned orders ® Save.

From the list of all selected planned orders you can also call up individual planned orders in sequence and then convert them individually.

All purchase requisitions created as described above are regarded as being fixed for material requirements planning and they are not affected by the following planning runs.
