As you create new orders, they are added to the list, which you can view by clicking the View Orders button. The form displays purchase orders and factory orders on separate tabs.

Note: f the Bill of Materials Maintenance option to Create MRP order per batch size is selected for the bill of material of the order, multiple orders is generated using the batch size, if the total requirement exceeds the batch size.

For example, if the batch size is 10 and a total (cumulative) requirement of 50 is calculated using the generation process, five individual orders for a quantity of 10 is created.

Additional Requirements

The requirements for the additional material may already have been calculated and the additional quantity will not have been included in any calculations. The additional material has a low level code:

• Less than the parent item of the factory order it was added to. The material requirements for the additional material have already been calculated.
• Equal to the parent item of the factory order, but is alphabetically before the parent item code. The material requirements for the additional material have already been calculated.

Example

Item A low level code = 0. Item B low level code = 0. If a factory order for Item B has Item A as an additional item, this requirement is not included in Item A's calculation as Item A's requirements have already been calculated.

When these circumstances occur, the Additional Requirements button is enabled. You must review the additional requirement and raise a purchase or factory order.
