| To commingle purchase orders |  |
| You can commingle purchase orders that have the Created status. To commingle purchase orders, click Commingle Purchase Orders on the Specific menu of the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session. As a result, the Commingle Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m000) session starts. The commingling process After you enter a range of purchase orders and click Commingle in the Commingle Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m000) session, ERP LN arranges the orders by buy-from business partner. The purchase order header fields of each purchase order are then compared. If the header fields match, ERP LN initially writes the corresponding lines into one new header. This process is repeated for the next header. If the header fields match, ERP LN copies this header to the previously created header. If the fields do not match, ERP LN creates a new header. This process is repeated for each successive header. If no delivery date is specified, the Planned Receipt Date field on the commingled order is not filled. The commingled order's order date is the date on which commingling takes place. After comparing the order headers, lines are sorted according to item details. Lines that differ only by their details fields are commingled into the same position, but with a different sequence number. Lines from the same origin and with the same item will have different sequences, because the linked line data is different for the various lines. Prices that you enter on the purchase order are overwritten during the commingling process. If a valid price/discount structure is linked to the order line, ERP LN derives the price, for the sum of all the quantities of the different sequence numbers on the line, from the Pricing Control (PCG) module. If you have not defined a valid price/discount structure for the order line, ERP LN derives the price from the Item Purchase Data (IPU) module. If you commingle purchase order lines that are linked to a purchase contract, the lines that are linked to the same contract are commingled. ERP LN derives the price for the commingled order line from the contract's active purchase contract price revision. If you have not defined a valid contract price revision, ERP LN derives the price from the Item Purchase Data module. After both line and header level commingling is carried out, you must approve the commingled order in the Approve Purchase Orders (tdpur4210m100) session, or in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session. After a purchase order is commingled, ERP LN deletes the original order and the concerned ERP LN modules are updated with the new order number. As a result, the status in the linked order line data in those modules is changed to Approved. Related topics Purchase orders for commingling Purchase contracts |
