| # To transfer orders to the execution level The plan transfer converts planned orders in to actual orders for the shop floor, purchase department and warehouse. The orders from this point onwards are handled by individuals other than the planner such as the shop floor planner, buyer and warehouse manager. However the planner still controls the total plan through the planning views incuding the actual order information and the signals still generated for the actual orders, if required. You can use the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session to transfer planned orders from Enterprise Planning to the execution level of ERP LN. In this session you can also transfer production plans and purchase plans. Alternatively, you can manually transfer a planned order in the Transfer Order Manually (cppat1250m000), which you can start via the Specific menu of the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session. General procedure Origin of the transferred orders You can transfer orders from the actual scenario only. The following types of planned supply can be transferred: Planned production orders Production plan Purchase plan Planned purchase orders Planned distribution orders Destination of the transferred orders Planned production orders and production plans are translated to production orders in the Shop Floor Control module in Manufacturing. Planned purchase orders and purchase plans are translated to purchase orders in the Purchase Control module in Order Management. Planned distribution orders for single-site distribution are translated to warehouse orders in the Inventory Handling module in Warehouse Management. Planned distribution orders for multisite distribution are translated to purchase orders in the Purchase Control module in Order Management. Planned materials If you transfer planned production orders to the Shop Floor Control module, ERP LN will respect the material selections and quantities as planned by the Enterprise Planning package. Order Status As a rule, ERP LN only transfers planned orders with Confirmed order status. However, on the Options tab in the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session, you can change the session's behavior: To transfer planned orders with Firm Planned order status as well, select the Transfer Status Firm Planned as Well check box. To transfer planned orders with Planned order status as well, select the Transfer Status Planned as Well check box. Workload-based transfer When you transfer production orders, you can set a maximum to the total workload that will be transferred to a resource. See: Workload-based order transfer. Order grouping You can use the order-grouping functionality in the Plan Aggregation and Transfer module to group planned production orders according to various criteria. You can use this functionality to transfer a whole order group at once, and (optionally) translate it to an SFC order group. Order release For some planned orders, the Order Release field in the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session is Not to be released. You cannot transfer these planned orders to the execution level, until the Order Release field is set to To be released. These planned orders are used in a vendor managed inventory (VMI) setup.
