RE: Automatic creation of POs/Resupply orders

Dear Tim.

You can indeed use PUR640B.
Please check the following items:
-       In Facility Planning Data, you must have a primary vendor
specified (also check lotsize; incremental order & lead time).
-       You will have to run MRP, in order to get the latest planning
update.

After this you can start PUR640B and select Vendor & Due date / Release
Date.
Please read your maunal (if you have) how to use PUR640B.

BPCS will not order automatically, it will only make suggestions which
you will have to consolidate.

Subject: Automatic creation of POs/Resupply orders


Dear All,

Does anyone know how  to get the system to automatically create a P/O
for
an item against a specified vendor (primary vendor?) when a customer
order
is created for the item and there is insufficient available stock to
cover
the required qty.

A colleague suggested that it was something to do with " Purchase Order
Consolidation/Release - PUR640B".

We are running V6.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Tim Lennon (Ocular Sciences)
