Project Material Management: Purchase of Materials to a Warehouse

If the required item quantity isn't fully available in a company warehouse, you need to purchase the item. In this case, Pending Procurement is shown in the Status column for the material line on the Project Materials (PM306500) form.

You initiate the purchasing of materials to the company warehouse by doing the following:

1. Selecting the Purchase to Order provisioning source for the needed material lines
2. Clicking Create Purchase Order on the table toolbar

The system opens the Create Purchase Orders (PO505000) form so that you can create purchase orders of the Normal type. One purchase order will include all material lines with the same vendor.

When a purchase order for a material line is created, the system updates these columns in the line on the Project Materials form as follows:

• Qty. on Orders: The quantity in the corresponding purchase order line
• Qty. Awaiting Delivery: The quantity in the corresponding purchase order line to be received in the warehouse
• Status: Awaiting Delivery
• Provisioning Doc. Ref. Nbr.: The purchase order type and reference number
