Planned Purchase Orders

Posted on by kdummermuth

I am trying to figure out how the planned purchase order process works in AX 2012. Currently my warehouse and I are noticing Purchase Orders are being generated when there is no Sales Order tied to it, and the minimum quantity is set to zero. What causes the planned purchase order to be generated if there is no sales order, or no min quantity that needs to be met??

Have a look at the Net requirements for the Item. This should give you some clue as to what is making demands on your Item.

Are you using forecasts? Are you sure there is not a related element pulling stock from the warehouse? Can you screen shot the net requirements as Guy suggests?

No demand (of any sort) means no supply suggestion, so you have supply requirements, you just need to see them!

Hi Steven, we have not started using forecasting in AX. I was hired back in January to help the Spare Parts Dept utilize AX better for their purposes in the supply chain world.

In your reply, if you hit 'Use rich formatting', one of the buttons allows you to upload an image file from your PC.

But even if you can't upload a screenshot, does it give you any clues? Is there anything on there with a Req. quantity that is negative?

That is not planning suggesting a purchase order, it is a purchase order. Existing purchase orders remain as they are a committment already made to the vendor. If you had action messages configured it would tell you to cancel it, whether you could or not is another matter!
