Using Buy Picklist

Navigation: Transactions >> Manufacturing >> Manufacturing Orders >> Picklist.

Select a Manufacturing Order:

Then click Additional >> Buy Picklist. You will be asked if you want to purchase ALL or SHORTAGES. ALL puts everything from the picklist into the PRR window. Shortages subtracts available inventory (in the Site) from the Quantity Required.

The Quantity Required is calculated using the same logic found in the MRP calculations. The Quantity Required is adjusted based on the Order Quantity Modifiers on Item Resource Planning for the Item-Site.

The calculation considers Minimum, Maximum, Multiple, and Item Shrinkage Factor. Since it is not attempting to replenish inventory, it does not look at Order Point Quantity or Order Up To Level.

If Item Quantities Maintenance has a Primary Vendor specified, the calculation looks to the Item-Vendor setup where it uses Minimum, Maximum and Order Multiple.

The MO Number will be referenced Contract Number field on the Purchasing Vendor Detail Entry window.
