Dear All, I would like to ask you about how to create temporary Purchase Order (PO) from MRP / planning worksheet and or requisition worksheet. I actually want to create many purchase order of one parent item’s raw material or bill of material, this is true where all raw materials are supplied by one vendor but the case here is that I want to create many PO for example 4 vendors from planning worksheet after calculate MRP. My purpose is to compare price given by among of my vendors after I send my POs to them all. And also multiple POs from the planning worksheet line but the vendors are manymeanwhile the items source are all the same (one Prod. BOM). Any replis and ans. are welcome and thanks. Rgds, mark
Hi Mark You are fundamentally breaking the supply and demand chain here. If you need the stock that is not the time to send out four comparitive quotes and tehn await feedback and decide upon the best course of action then buy - by then it is too late. Ignore the MRP and use the purchase quotes to obtain prices. Once you have decided upon one use this as the default vendor, or set up the vendor item catalogue with lead times or preferences. The MRP is generally a supply and demand match. If you want to start doing this you need to ethik extremely seriously about what you want, and how you want to achieve it, then you will need to modify the system to do what you want it to.
Dear Steven, Tks a lot for your answer. I thought I can create purchase requisition (PR) or purchase quote (PQ) from planning worksheet, but I wonder if I consider purchase order created from planning worksheet after MRP calculation, it’s no problem, isn’t it ? I will create a certain report that valid as a PR or PQ. Rgds, Mark
