| Confirm Planned Orders (cprrp1200m000) |  |
| Use this session to confirm planned orders. The result is that planned orders with the Planned or Firm Planned order status get the Confirmed order status. You can transfer confirmed planned orders to the execution level. During the next planning run, confirmed orders are not moved or removed, only replanned and updated in case something changes in the lead times or in the routing. If you select EP Order Group Selection, you can confirm planned or firm planned order for an entire order group. If you select the Selection Range radio button, the fields in the Selection Range group become available, and you can define a range of planned or firm planned orders to confirm.

Fields | Description
Actual Scenario | The scenario that contains the operational master plan and/or order planning, as opposed to scenarios used only for simulation (what-if analysis). The actual scenario is the only scenario from which you can transfer planned orders to the execution level.
Planned Order | A supply order in Enterprise Planning that is created for planning purposes, but which is not an actual order yet. Enterprise Planning works with planned orders of the following types: Planned production order Planned purchase order Planned distribution order Planned orders are generated in the context of a particular scenario. The planned orders of the actual scenario can be transferred to the execution level, where they become actual supply orders.
Order Type | Select one of the available options for the order type.
Item Group | Group of items with similar characteristics. Each item belongs to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with the item type to set up item defaults.
Planner | The employee or department responsible for planning the production, purchase and distribution of items. The planner takes into account the inventory levels, availability of materials, and capacities of resources, and reacts on signals such as rescheduling messages that ERP LN generates.
Buyer | The employee of your company who is the contact to the concerned buy-from business partner. The buyer is also known as the purchasing agent. Related topics Buyer selection
Shop Floor Planner | The employee that groups the orders to an order group before they are transferred to Shop Floor Control (SFC). The Shop Floor Planner ID is also a selection criterion that determines which orders are included in an order group in the Create Order Group for Planned Orders (cppat3250m000) session, and which orders are transferred in the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session.

Routing Group | A group of items with similar routing attributes, for example, the same work center, routing operation, BOM, and so on. A routing group is defined by the user as a selection criterion for production orders.
Buy-from BP | The business partner from whom you order goods or services; this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, terms of delivery, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner.

From Plan Item | An item with the order system Planned. The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is planned in Enterprise Planning based on the forecast or the actual demand. You can plan these items by means of: Master-based planning (similar to master production scheduling techniques). Order-based planning (similar to material-requirements planning techniques). A combination of master-based planning and order-based planning. Plan items can be one of the following: An actual manufactured or purchased item. A product family. A basic model, that is, a defined product variant of a generic item. A group of similar plan items (or families) is called a product family. The items are aggregated to give a more general plan than the one devised for individual items. A code displayed by the item code's cluster segment shows that the plan item is a clustered item that is used for distribution planning.

Within Order Lead Time Only | If this check box is selected, only those planned orders are confirmed, whose fixed start date falls in the period that is calculated as follows:
     Current date + (order lead-time x order lead-time multiplier)
Note ERP LN retrieves the order lead-time from the Order Lead Time field in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session.
Order Lead-Time Multiplier | The factor used to multiply the order lead-time in order to calculate the period for which you want to confirm planned orders. Note If the Within Order Lead Time Only check box is selected, you can enter an order lead-time multiplier.
EP Order Group Selection | Select the EP Order Group Selection check box if you want to confirm planned orders for an order group, which you can define in the EP Order Group field.

In this case, you can define selection criteria in the Selection Range group.
