Multiple Purchase Order of multiple Planned Orders with same vendor

Posted on by UbaidNoor

Hi all,

I am facing an issue that i am firming the multiple planned purchase orders with the same vendor at one time, but system is creating 2,3 purchase orders instead of creating a single PO with reference of all the selected Planned Purchase Orders.

Can anyone help?

Hi Ubaid,

Please check your setup in:

Master planning > Setup > Master planning parameters > Standard update

Here it can be set how the orders are grouped when firming.

You most probably have "Group by vendor" already selected but you may also have it to group by another field e.g. "Buyer group".

In the above case, you could get some lines for one buyer group and some for another. Even though they belong to the same vendor, the grouping would take into account the buyer group.

Regards,

Matt

Ubaid,

That was just an example...

Please navigate to:

Master Planning > Setup > Master Planning Parameters > Standard Update.

Check these settings, if you have anything other than just "Group by vendor" selected then it may split into more than one purchase order during firming.

Further information on the master planning parameters form:

Buyer group was an example, grouping of planned orders when firming can be due to any of the following:

Vendor

Buyer group

Purchase agreement

Period

Matthew,

Thanks for your detailed reply but in my case i have checked all the setting(s), there is nothing configured other than Group by Vendor.

I am still looking for the resolution of this issue.

Hi Ubaid,

It may be worth looking at whether the firming window that you open up (at time of actual firming) shows different settings that those in master planning setup.

If possible, please make a record of the planned order details you are about to firm, then record the output so that we have more details that may help finding a solution.

Regards,

Matt

Hi Ubaid - those parameter settings in your screenshot are only used the first time that you firm planned purchase orders (or if you use automatic firming). So you need to check the Setup tab on your Firming form as Matthew suggests.

Umm. I'd think I'd like to see a screen-shot of that. Hard to believe.
