Hi , how can we know via the list of planned purchase orders which planned purchase orders should be prioritize to cover back order purchase lines needed for the production orders in order to prioritize them?
To prioritize planned purchase orders to cover backorder purchase lines needed for production orders, you can follow these steps:
- Determine the purchase orders that have backorders: First, you need to identify the purchase orders that have backorders. These are the purchase orders that have open purchase lines that are not yet received, and their expected delivery dates have passed.
- Check for production orders: Once you have identified the purchase orders with backorders, you need to check which production orders are waiting for the items on these purchase orders. You can do this by checking the Bill of Materials (BOM) of the production orders and matching them with the purchase lines.
- Prioritize based on production order priority: Once you have identified the production orders waiting for the items on the purchase orders, you can prioritize the purchase orders based on the priority of the production orders. For example, if a high-priority production order is waiting for an item on a purchase order, you should prioritize that purchase order to ensure timely delivery of the item.
- Consider lead time: In addition to production order priority, you should also consider the lead time for the items on the purchase orders. If an item has a longer lead time, you should prioritize the purchase order to ensure that the item is delivered in time for production.
By following these steps, you can prioritize planned purchase orders to cover backorder purchase lines needed for production orders and ensure timely delivery of items for production.
