Mass update to Planned Purchase Orders (PPS170) - Credit Terms update or Pickup Address specifically

steven-benza

We use Planned Purchase Orders (PPS170) to generate sub-contract Purchase Orders (MRP items) and Raw Material/Packaging Firm PO's.  We run full Regen MRP every night.  We recently changed the credit terms for a few suppliers.  This creates an issue when releasing multiple Planned Purchase Orders (pPO's).  The pPO's generated prior to the Supplier Master update have the original Credit Terms.  New pPO's have the updated Credit Terms.  Since the Credit Terms are different, we can not combine multiple pPO's into one (1) Firm PO.

Has anyone found a process to do a mass update to the pPO's in PPS170 to accommodate an update to the Supplier Master and Addresses?

Thank you in advance

Hello Steven!

Follow these steps

At least one PO consolidation group must exist to enable a control of how the planned purchase orders are to be consolidated. If no group is created, the system will automatically create a default group with a default key setup.

1. Open 'PO Consolidation Group. Open' (PPS019) and define a record on the B panel. The PO consolidation group is used to create the sorting key that will be created for all planned purchase records in 'Planned Purchase Order. Open' (PPS170) and 'Planned Purchase Order. Open' (PPS171).

2. On the E panel, select which objects and fields to consolidate by.

3. Open 'Supplier. Define Purchase Financial' (CRS624) for your selected supplier, go to panel E, and attach your PO consolidation group.

4. Open 'Purchase Order Type. Open' (PPS095) and attach your PO consolidation group on the H panel.
