Transfer Demand to Purchase Requisition
Explanation
This activity is used to transfer an existing demand from a shop order requisition
to a purchase requisition. This may occur when the parts to be manufactured
before, are now to be purchased instead.
To transfer a quantity from a shop order requisition to a purchase requisition
from the:
- Shop Order Requisition or Shop Order Requisitions
page, click Transfer Demand
to Purchase Requisition.
- Machine Load and Labor Load charts on the
Visual Capacity Requirements Planning or
Visual Shop Orders Planning page, select to group by
operations, select the segment representing the relevant shop order requisition
and click Transfer Demand to Purchase Requisition.
In the dialog, enter the quantity you wish to transfer in the Qty to Transfer
field. The quantity cannot exceed the current quantity on the shop order
requisition. If required, change the requisitioner in the Requisitioner ID
field. This may be required, for example, to prevent automatic removal of
the created purchase requisition when the next MRP is being run.
Note: The shop order requisition load will not be updated until the
Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) calculation has been executed.
