RE: How to link purchasing order to a production 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.
