Used to realize material procurement proposals collectively. The option located in the Operations menu of the Production Control program part.
In order to determine whether the safety inventory level will be considered or not, "Inventory Level To Be Considered in Actualization of Material Procurement Proposals" parameter is used located in Production control parameters.
The material procurement method and the material proposal slips / production orders (that the batch material procurement operation will be done for) are specified with the selections made in the filter lines of the Batch Material Procurement window. The filter options are:

For Production Orders With No Demand Slip |
Slip Will Not Be Generated / Slip Will Be Generated |
Note: When "Slip Will Be Generated" is selected in "For Production Orders With No Demand Slip" filter line, the delivery transaction is done after the material demand slip is generated.
In batch material procurement operation, in "For Production Orders with No Demand Slip" filter line, when "Slip Will Be Generated" option is selected, firstly material demand slip is generated and then demand delivery transaction is performed.
When batch material procurement is wanted to be done for a production order although there is no material demand slip and if "Slip Will Not Be Generated" option is selected, demand delivery is not done for that production order.
In batch material procurement operation, when delivering demands, the safety and/or minimum inventory levels are considered.
Delivery type, delivery plant and delivery warehouse info take place in production order lines. Specified default delivery type in material card's plant parameters page, can be changed to "Warehouse Delivery". For warehouse delivery, the plant and warehouse, that the delivery will be done in, can be selected in production order lines.
In batch material procurement, in the event of selecting "Slip Will Not Be Generated" option in "For Production Orders with No Demand Slip" filter line, only the production orders are considered that demand slips are generated for before.
In material procurement, minimum and safety inventory levels specified in material's warehouse parameters are considered as well. Procurement window will be updated according to the selection in production control parameters.
Assigning Proper Slips to Material Procurement Automatically
Proper slips can be assigned to material procurement automatically as well. This can be done by approving "Proper Slips Will Be Automatically Assigned To Material Procurement" parameter lines of the production control parameters.
Assigning Proper Order Slips to Material Procurement Automatically
To be able to use an existing order slip in material procurement, some conditions have to be provided:
Quantity Control: Some part of the order that has not been associated to any transaction can be used in material procurement.
Available Order Quantity= Order Quantity-(Maximum(Delivered Quantity, Related Quantity))
Date Control: Order's delivery date must be within the date range specified in material delivery.
Approval Info Control: Order slip's approval info must be "Proposal" or "Deliverable".
Status of Order Line: Because "Closed" status order lines cannot be used in material procurement, this type lines are not brought.
AR/AP Control: If "AR/AP Control on Slips" parameter of purchase parameters is selected as "Will be done", the orders entered to accounts (receivable/payable) that are not assigned in material – supplier relations of the material that procurement will be done for, are not brought automatically.
Approving "Proper Order Slips Will Be Automatically Assigned To Material Procurement" Parameter and Delivery: If it will be done by purchasing, existing order slips for a material are assigned to material procurement window automatically by starting from the order with the maximum available quantity until the procurement is delivered.
Determining Appropriate Production Orders
To be able to use a production order in material procurement, some conditions have to be provided.
Quantity Control: Some part of the production order that has not been associated to any transaction can be used in material procurement.
Available Production Order Quantity = MIN(Undelivered Requirement Quantity, (Planned Production Order Quantity- Actual Production Quantity - Related Quantity))
Date Control: Production order's planned end date must be equal to material procurement operation date or before that date.
Production Order Status Control: Because "Stopped" and "Closed" status production orders will not be able to be used in material procurements, this type lines are not brought.
When "Proper Production Orders Will Be Automatically Assigned To Material Procurement" parameter is approved and when delivery is decided to be done by production order, the existing production orders for a material are assigned to material procurement automatically until the procurement is delivered by starting from the production order with maximum available quantity.
If existing production order in system is not sufficient for the procurement, a new production order is suggested to be generated.
When Production Orders Deleted or Cancelled: In the event of deleting or cancelling the production order, the procurement transactions are deleted too. This parameter is about the slip statuses generated by procurement transaction. If the parameter is approved, all the procurement transactions are deleted that their statuses have not been changed at second and sequel levels. The ones' connections are broken whose statuses have been changed. If "Relations Will Be Broken" is selected, the slips generated after procurement are not deleted; only they are released.
Generating Usage Slip in the event of Fulfilling from Stock
A new parameter is generated for material procurement, in the event of there is a proposal about fulfilling the requirement quantity from stock.
There is "Generate Usage Slip on Fulfilling from Stock: Yes/No" parameter in Production Control parameters. If parameter line is selected as "Yes", a usage will is generated for fulfilling from stock proposals.
Note: To use the related working method in Demand Management as well, same parameter line must be used in Demand Management parameters.
