	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>A planned PRP order comes from a budget requirement and is an order advise that you can transfer to Order Management or Warehouse Management.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Planned PRP warehouse orders generated by Generate Planned PRP orders (tppss6200m000) session or manually entered using the Planned PRP Warehouse Orders (tppss6515m000) session are first confirmed using the Approve Planned PRP Warehouse Orders (tppss6225m000) session. These confirmed PRP warehouse orders are then transferred to ERP Warehousing as actual orders.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>In the Purchase module of SSA ERP Order Management, PRP advises can be combined using the commingle option, thereby limiting the number of orders. SSA ERP Warehouse Management does not provide the commingling functionality. As a result, each warehouse order has to be processed separately, involving some administrative overhead. The ERP 6.1 version provides the functionality to combine PRP orders in the PSS module itself.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>SSA ERP allow you to combine Planned PRP warehouse orders only if the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Combine Orders</GUIRef> group box is selected.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The Planned PRP warehouse orders can be combined into one warehouse order only if:</Paragraph>
		<List><ListItem>The ship-to address is similar for the PRP Warehouse orders.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The ship-from address is similar for the PRP Warehouse orders.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Planned receipt dates fall in a certain time period.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>You can combine the Planned PRP orders as follows:</Paragraph>
		<List><ListItem><GUIRef href="" role="manual">Across Projects</GUIRef>: Use this option to combine the orders across projects.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="" role="manual">By Projects</GUIRef>: Use this option to combine the orders within a project.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="" role="manual">By Element</GUIRef>: Use this option to combine the orders by element.</ListItem>
