Req. Worksheet Window

Lists items that you want to order. You can enter items in the worksheet in the following ways:

  • Enter the items manually in the worksheet and fill in the relevant fields.

  • Use the Calculate Plan batch job. This calculates a replenishment plan for items and stockkeeping units that have been set up with a replenishment system of Purchase or Transfer. When you use this batch job, the program automatically fills in the Action Message field with a suggestion for an action you can take to replenish the item. This could be increasing the item quantity on an existing order or creating a new order, for example.

  • If you have used the Calculate Plan batch job from the Planning Worksheet window to calculate a replenishment plan, you can use the Carry Out Action Message batch job to copy purchase and transfer order proposals from the planning worksheet to the requisition worksheet. This is practical if separate users are responsible for handling production orders and purchase/transfer orders.

  • You can use the Drop Shipment function to fill in the requisition worksheet lines. This function uses the Get Sales Orders batch job to determine the sales order lines that you want to designate for a drop shipment.

  • You can use the Special Order function to fill in the requisition worksheet lines. This function uses the Get Sales Orders batch job to determine the sales order lines that you want to designate for a special order.

Requisition worksheet lines contain detailed information about the items that need to be reordered. You can edit and delete the lines to adjust your replenishment plan, and you can further process the lines by using the Carry Out Action Message batch job.

For details about planning with locations and transfers, see Planning with/without Locations.

Red Text

The system may sometimes suggest planning lines that need extra attention by the planner before they can be accepted. On such lines, the Accept Action Message field is by default not checked and the critical element is highlighted with red font:

  • If a planning line suggests a starting time earlier than the work date, the value in the Starting Date-Time field will be red.

  • If a planning line suggest to change a released purchase or production order, the value in Ref. Order No. field will be red.
