| # Combining planned PRP warehouse orders Planned PRP purchase orders and planned PRP warehouse orders are necessary to: Order goods Rent equipment Mobilize subcontractors A planned PRP order comes from a budget requirement and is an order advise that you can transfer to Procurement or Warehouse Management. Planned PRP warehouse orders generated in the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session or manually entered, are first confirmed using the Approve Planned PRP Warehouse Orders (tppss6225m000) session. These confirmed PRP warehouse orders are then transferred to Warehousing as actual orders. In Procurement, PRP advises can be combined using the commingle option, thereby limiting the number of orders. Warehousing does not provide the commingling functionality. As a result, each warehouse order must be processed separately, involving some administrative overhead. You can also combine PRP orders in the PSS module itself. You can only combine Planned PRP warehouse orders if the Combine Orders check box is selected. The Planned PRP warehouse orders can only be combined into one warehouse order if: The ship-to address is similar for the PRP warehouse orders. The ship-from address is similar for the PRP warehouse orders. Planned receipt dates fall in a certain time period. You can combine the Planned PRP orders as follows: Across Projects Combines the orders across projects. By Projects Combines the orders within a project. By Element Combines the orders by element. By Activity Combines the orders by activity.
Example:
Project | Element | Activity
--- | --- | ---
A | X1 | Y1
A | X2 | Y2
A | X2 | Y1
B | X1 | Y1
B | X2 | Y1
