A. Example for 1 CO – 2 lines and 2 separate PO’s.

CO, CO type S50 is created with 2 CO lines.

In this example there will also be 2 separate PO’s.

PPS170 shows 2 system planned orders.

Standard procedure is to release lines.

 

When line has sts 60, the PO is created: Actions + F14

PO’s will be generated as selected. Could be buyer, supplier…

2 Separate PO’s have been generated.

 

 

B. Example for 1 CO – 2 lines and 1 single PO with 2 PO lines.

Details such as supplier, order type, buyer should be identical for each item. If not, M3 will generate separate PO’s, despite of below procedure.

CO type S50 is created with 2 CO lines, 2 different item numbers.

M3 allows to already generate a PO number for each line.

 

If you want to have 1 PO only, DO NOT generate the PO number, since it will be linked to this one specific line in PPS170.

Step 1: under Srt enter “A” for each line to be included in the PO.

 

Step 2: release those lines, so they get status = 60.

When lines have status 60,

Go to “Actions” + F14 to create a firm PO.

PPS913 will open automatically.

 

Select records as needed, buyer, supplier…

 

 

When the PO is created, the order number can be retrieved from MMS080.

 

Also will be in the CO line OIS101/F (example at end of this document).

1 PO is generated with 2 PO lines as to be expected.

PO lines show references to CO number and CO lines.

PO and PO line number also can be retrieved in the CO line in OIS101/F
