Planned Purchase Order vs Manual Purchase Order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Lannaloo 10

Hi There,

I wonder if someone is able to help please?  When we run Master Planning, we obviously then get a list of any Raw Materials that we need to order.  I understand that we would then go in and firm up the planned PO, in order to create it.

My question is, if the planned purchase orders generated by Master Planning were to be ignored and a manual PO was to be raised for the exact same amount, would this then mean that the next time MP was run, that particular requirement would disappear?

I was let to believe that if this happened, D365 would treat this manual PO as an extra unexpected requirement and that the planned purchase order would still be there until it was firmed up.

Thanks,

Alanna

    Yes.  If you manually fulfill the demand's need by creating your own purchase order or production order, next time MRP runs, it will see that as supply and not generate another planned purchase order.  If it's not behaving as expected, make sure the planed purchase order isn't "approved" and that you're running a regeneration.

    Also bear in mind that Planned orders which fall within the 'Freeze time fence' (if you have one set), will not be deleted, even if they are no longer needed.

    typically your PO withing  coverage period should fullfil the demand and no planned PO gets suggested by MRP run

    however if your positive date excludes this PO then a new planned PO might get generated
