If you can buy all these items from the same vendor, then 'Yes', Master planning would help with this scenario. It could be configured to create a Planned purchase order (for review and converting into a real purchase order), or could even directly create a Purchase order.

If you normally group the demand of one week into a single Purchase order, look at using the Coverage code 'Period' and a 7 day or weekly period.

If you buy from different vendors, Master Planning will still help, but you asked for one purchase order. It can only do that if they are from the same vendor ;-)

I suggest you take a look at the training manual:

Then think about how your organisation re-orders different types of item that you buy. As you try to setup Master Planning to support that and you find a parameter you don't understand; Google it until you do! And get good at building clean scenarios in a test environment. Scenarios where you can understand what is happening. Then change a setting you are interested in to see the effect. Change one setting at a time; it is easier to follow what the effect is.
