| # To transfer multicompany distribution orders In Common, you can choose how you transfer a multicompany planned distribution order: To a purchase order in the Purchase Control module of Order Management To a warehouse transfer in Warehouse Management You can make this choice for a specific relation between two different companies in the Type of Order to be Generated by Enterprise Planning field in the Entity - Entity Relationships (tcemm2110m000) session. Note Transfer of a planned distribution order to a warehouse transfer is only possible, if the supplying item and the receiving item are the same. If the supplying item and the receiving item are different items, LN transfers the planned distribution order to a purchase order, regardless of the setting of the Type of Order to be Generated by Enterprise Planning field. To transfer to warehouse transfers If LN transfers a planned distribution order to a warehouse transfer, LN creates the following warehouse orders in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session: In the company to which the warehouse belongs from which the ordered goods originate, the order is visible as a warehouse order of inventory-transaction type Issue. In the company to which the warehouse belongs in which the ordered goods are received, LN stores a warehouse order of inventory transaction type Receipt. To transfer to purchase orders If LN transfers a planned distribution order to a purchase order, the purchase order appears in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4500m000) session in Order Management. In the company to which the warehouse belongs from which the ordered goods are sold, the order is visible as a sales order in the Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000) session after you run EDI. Selection of supplying warehouse and destination warehouse Whether you transfer the multicompany distribution order to a warehouse order or to a purchase order, in both situations, LN can retrieve the destination warehouse from the planned distribution order. However, LN cannot directly retrieve the necessary information about the supplying warehouse, because the distribution order only contains the supplying site and the supplying item. Although LN can derive the supplying warehouse from this information, it uses the default warehouse of the supplying item. To have the proper warehouse available on execution level, you can change the supplying warehouse in the Supplying Warehouse field of the Planned Order (cprrp1600m000) session. To transfer the orders To actually transfer the orders to execution level you must carry out the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session. If you select the Interactive check box in this session, LN provides an overview of the default settings for every order that you want to transfer. You can still manually change these settings before Enterprise Planning actually transfer the order. In addition to the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session, you can also use the Transfer Order Manually (cppat1250m000) session to transfer a specific multicompany planned distribution order from the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session to the execution level. Next, you must click Transfer on the Specific menu to carry out the transfer. LN displays an overview session where all the order lines appear. For each order, you can select or deselect the Transfer check box to determine wether or not LN must transfer the order. Note The multisite warehouse order functionality is not available for project items. LN can only transfer multicompany distribution orders for project items to a purchase order in the Purchase Control module. LN gives you a warning if the Transfer Multicompany Distribution Order field for a project item in the Select Orders for Transfer (cppat0210m000) session is set to Warehouse Order, and you click the Transfer button in the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session. Note You cannot use the multisite warehouse order functionality for relationships that cross servers. |
