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. In the Purchase module of ERP LN Order Management, PRP advises can be combined using the commingle option, thereby limiting the number of orders.
