Epicor Generate Purchasing Suggestions Process

Use Generate Purchasing Suggestions to automatically  create a list of suggested purchases based on time-phased information. You create actual purchase orders from these suggestions in Purchase Order Entry. 

If the application is set up for consolidated purchasing中央采购 and you are logged into the central purchasing company, you can run a full regeneration by selecting the Run Consolidated Purch check box. You can then review and process the purchase order suggestions from other companies. 

This process must be  run before using  New PO Suggestions and  Change PO Suggestions. Only one user can run this function at a time. 

Use the Selection sheet to select the parameters for the process. 

Use the Filter sheet to select the plants to include in the generation process. 

Generate Purchasing Suggestions builds suggestions from: 

Time-phased information - For time-phased purchase orders, the program deletes and rebuilds some or all time-phased purchase orders as appropriate based on the date the suggestions are generated and the selected processing option. 

Requisitions marked as Send To Purchasing - For requisitions, the program does not delete or change the information. Requisitions can be removed from the application only by ordering the requisition item or manually deleting the requisition. 

Unlinked Buy To Order (BTO) sales order releases - This program uses the ship, order quantity and supplier, sales order, sales order line, and order release identification information stored in order release records to generate purchase order suggestions. If you use the Regenerative mode,  this program includes unlinked sales order releases and releases with associated PO suggestions. This program also deletes the old PO suggestions. It always excludes previously linked Buy to Order (BTO) sales order releases. 

Purchase order suggestions are based on time-phased information such as: 

- Direct job material 直接生产物料

- Inventory requirements 库存需求

- Job subcontract operations 工单委外工序

Note: When generating suggestions, the Generate Purchasing Suggestions program first references the part or plant record for the part's purchase lead time. If there is no purchase lead time on the part or plant record, then the Epicor application references the purchase lead time set at the supplier price break level for the part and  its primary supplier. 

Note: For more information on how to review the status of the Generate Purchasing Suggestions process, review the System Monitor topics in the Application Help.
