Create Planned Order

You can create new orders for MRP from the Supply/Demand Details grid in the Supply/Demand Details group of the Planning Console program. When you select the Create Planned Order button, the system calls the Planning Console Create Planned Order program (P34X240) and displays the Create Planned Order form.

You enter information, such as dates, quantity, unit of measure, supplier, production number, project number, and source demand to create a new supply order. The Create Planned Order form enables fields for entry based on the planning stocking type, which is the first letter of the second description in UDC 41/I. For example, if the planning stocking type is P then the system displays the Supplier Number field on the Create Planned Order form.

If an item is project-specific (ETO), then the system displays the Project Number and Source Demand fields in the Additional Details group. If an item is production-controlled, then the system displays the Production Number field in the Additional Details group.

Note: An item cannot be both production-controlled and project-specific.

When you create a new planned order and click Save, the system updates the F34X200W table, refreshes the Supply/Demand Details grid, and refreshes the Supply and Demand and Item Balance charts. The system adds the new order messages to the F3411 table when you save the plan. If the newly created planned order violates the lead time level defined for the item, the system displays the Adjusted Date field value in bold red colored font in the Supply/Demand Details grid.
