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.
