Modify Requested Quantity

Explanation

Use this activity when a supply request has already been created (purchase requisition, purchase order or shop order), and the quantity per assembly has to be changed. Values for quantity per assembly is entered on components in Project Deliverables Navigator/Components tab. If the quantity per assembly has been changed, then a new calculation of gross requirement calculation must be run. This calculates new required quantities by using the new entered values for quantity per assembly. The total required quantity for each item is calculated (quantity per assembly on items are multiplied by the quantity per assembly of the parent item). If supply request has been created, a Modify Requested Quantity option can be selected. The Modify Requested Quantity option opens a dialog where all necessary information about quantities are found. Required quantity can then be adjusted and will be reflected on connected supply request. The main steps can also be described like this:

  1. Supply request like purchase requisition, purchase order or shop order has been created.
  2. Components are updated with new values for quantity per assembly, in Project Deliverables Navigator/Components tab.
  3. Required quantities must now be updated to reflect the modified information about quantity per assembly. Required quantities are updated by running a new gross requirements calculation.
  4. Modify requested quantity option in Material Plan tab can now be used. This option corrects the mismatch between the required quantities in material plans and the requested quantities, on purchase requisitions, purchase orders and shop orders.
