| To hard peg supply orders |  |
| If insufficient inventory is available, supply orders can be generated and hard pegged to the demand order requesting allocated inventory. This means the supply order receives the same specification as the demand order. Allocated planned inventory transactions, containing the specifications, are created for the supply orders. Supply orders for demand orders are generated or manually created: In order planning runs in the Enterprise Planning package. For more information, refer to Order planning, an overview. Directly from the sales (demand) order or schedule in the Order Management package. Hard peg supply orders in Order Management The following supply orders can be generated: Purchase orders in the Generate Purchase Orders (tdsls4241m000) session. Production orders in the Generate Production Orders (tdsls4243m000) session. Transfer orders in the Transfer Order for Sales Order (tdsls4242s000) session. Supply orders can be created as follows from the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session, or the Sales Order Delivery Lines (tdsls4101m100) session: Manually from the stock shortage menu When an inventory shortage occurs on the order line, the Inventory Shortage Menu (tdsls4830s000) session starts. Select Generate Purchase Order, Generate Production Order, or Generate Transfer Order to create a supply order in the relevant session. Manually from the Specific menu When an inventory shortage occurs on the order line, you can click Generate Purchase Order, Generate Production Order, or Generate Transfer Order on the Specific menu to create a supply order in the relevant session. Automatically at sales order line entry When an inventory shortage occurs, a supply order is automatically generated if the relevant session is linked as an automatic activity to the order type in the Sales Order Type - Activities (tdsls0694m000) session. Note The Inventory Shortage Menu (tdsls4830s000) session, which can appear for a manually entered sales order, is only started if the total quantity of the allocated inventory and/or hard pegged supply orders is less than the sales order line's ordered quantity. During BOM explosion of the production order, ERP LN can propagate the hard peg to orders for components, depending on the Hard Peg Propagation field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. Hard peg supply orders in Warehouse Management Warehouse Management parameter settings determine whether: Items received by supply orders become identifiable in inventory through handling units generated for the receipt line of the supply order when the receipt is confirmed. These handling units obtain specifications with characteristics identical to those of the supply order. Specific handling units or anonymous allocated inventory is issued when generating outbound advice for the demand order. ERP LN issues inventory whose specification characteristics match those of the outbound order lines of the demand order. For more information, refer to Inventory allocation levels. Hard peg supply purchase orders and schedules A purchase order/schedule is a source of supply for items. Purchased items can be hard pegged to an allocated demand by a specification. During receipt of the item, the characteristics of the specification are copied to the inventory record, which allocates this inventory to the specific demand. Purchase orders A purchase order line can be hard pegged if generated from the following origins: EDI The purchase order line and related specification information is communicated through electronic data interchange (EDI) if the Supply Planning by Supplier check box is selected in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. As a result, the Allocation and Hard Pegging Type in the Allocation and Hard Pegging Terms and Conditions (tctrm1165m000) session determines the specification's appearance on the purchase order line. Sales The purchase order is generated in the Generate Purchase Orders (tdsls4241m000) session. If a specification is linked to the sales order and the Supply Planning by Supplier check box is cleared in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session, the specification of the sales order is copied to the purchase order line. EP The purchase order is generated from the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session. If a specification is linked to the planned order and the Supply Planning by Supplier check box is cleared in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session, the specification of the planned order is copied to the purchase order line. Warehousing The purchase order is generated from the Generate Orders (TPOP) (whinh2201m000) session. If a specification is linked to the planned inventory transaction and the Supply Planning by Supplier check box is cleared in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session, the specification of the planned inventory transaction is copied to the purchase order line. Warehousing Receipt The purchase order line is generated automatically for an unexpected warehouse receipt. The specification is copied from the receipt in Warehouse Management. SFC The (subcontracting) purchase order line is created from the Generate Subcontracting Purchase Orders (tisfc2250m000) session for a subcontracted operation on a production order. The specification is copied from the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session in Manufacturing to the Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000) session in Order Management. Subcontracting Purchase Order The (subcontracting) purchase order line is created from the Generate Supply Orders for Subcontracting (tdpur4216m000) session for an order controlled/single system. The specification from the Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000) session is copied to the purchase order line. Manual For manually entered purchase orders, you can only create a specification in a specific vendor managed inventory (VMI) scenario and a specific subcontracting scenario. Before you can manually enter a purchase order for these scenarios, the following check boxes must be selected: Supply Planning by Supplier in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. Allocation and Hard Pegging Required in the Allocation and Hard Pegging Terms and Conditions (tctrm1165m000) session. Both scenarios also require specific settings before you can manually enter purchase orders: VMI scenario On the purchase order line, the Payment field must be set to Pay on Receipt or Pay on Use. In the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session, the Send Reference to Supplier check box must be selected. In the Allocation and Hard Pegging Terms and Conditions (tctrm1165m000) session, the Allocation and Hard Pegging Type must be set to Internal Reference Based. Subcontracting scenario On the purchase order line, the Payment field must be set to No Payment. In the Allocation and Hard Pegging Terms and Conditions (tctrm1165m000) session, the Allocation and Hard Pegging Type must be set to Business Partner Based or Customer Reference Based.
