Our Production Orders consist of purchased components. Production order item is a make-to-order -style.
We would like to purchase the components allocated to the production orders and we would like to have the production order number in the purchase order line in the field Production Order Number.
What are the planning parameters we need to have, to make this possible?
Thank you if anybody can help!
I'm 99% sure (didn't test) that the Production Order No. field on the Purchase Order Lines is only used in the case of a Sub-Contract Purchase Order. A material purchase, even using the Order - Reordering Policy, will not utilize this field.
The information provided above (about Item Planning settings) will link the Purchase Order to the Production Order, but it will do so through a Reservation Entry, which is not visible on the Purchase Order Line.
You could add a custom field on the Purchase Order Lines which displays the Production Order linked via Reservation Entry, which would accomplish the same goal. The Reservation Entries table can be tricky to know which record to link to, but we do this quite often with MTO/ETO type Production Orders linked to the Customer and Sales Order.
hi
to purchase components allocated to production orders and have the production order number included in the purchase order line, you will need to make sure the following planning parameters are set up correctly in Business Central:
Planning Worksheet: The planning worksheet is used to plan production orders and purchase orders. Make sure that the relevant production orders are included in the planning worksheet and that the necessary columns, such as "Production Order Number," are included in the layout.
Replenishment System: In the "Replenishment System" field of the Item Card, make sure that it is set to "Order" to indicate that the item should be purchased. This will allow you to create purchase orders for the item.
Item Tracking: If the component items have lot or serial numbers, make sure that item tracking is enabled for them. This will allow you to track the component items through the production process and ensure that the correct components are used in each production order.
Planning Parameters: The planning parameters determine how much inventory to purchase and when. Make sure that the "Order Tracking" and "Order Policy" fields are set up correctly for the component items to ensure that they are ordered when needed.
By setting up these planning parameters correctly, you should be able to purchase the components allocated to production orders and have the production order number included in the purchase order line in Business Central.

For the components items that are subject to the purchase order, you can do the following:
1- Go to the Replenishment Fast Tab on Item Card.
2- Select Replenishment System Type: Purchase
3- From the Planning Fast Tab, Select the appropriate Order Policy and enter the reorder-point parameters.
4- Run the "Requisition Worksheet", therefore the system will suggest the required quantity to be purchased.
Note that you should identify the vendor related to the item by going to "Vendot Item Catalog", therefore you will be able to view the vendor code in the requisition worksheet.
