Use this activity to enter a purchase order number and a maximum release quantity for a specific part. The purchase order number should represent the order for which you wish to generate purchase order lines when schedule lines are converted.
Enter the start date for the use of the purchase order.
The maximum release quantity is a means of limiting the quantity of order lines on each purchase order. Whenever the maximum quantity has been reached, it will no longer be possible to create any new purchase order lines on this purchase order. You then must connect a new purchase order to the agreement per part.
As a result of this entry, a purchase order is connected to the supplier schedule agreement part and will be used whenever a schedule line is converted into a purchase order line. The release process changes to the next order either when the start date or the quantity limit is reached, whichever comes first.
