IV Summary
I IntroductionThe Opentaps Purchasing application is designed to help you manage the purchasing process. It
supports creating and managing supplier information, automating the purchasing process using both
Material Resources Planning (MRP) and order-driven requirements, and creating and managing
purchase orders.
II Purchasing and PlanningThe program's purchasing features are tightly integrated with all related business application
areas of the program. Figure below illustrates how purchase orders interrelate to other typical supply
chain application areas to compile item transactions in the general ledger (G/L).
The G/L works as the data collection point for the entire system, while a minimal amount of
data flows back in the opposite direction. Much data also flows horizontally between master data
records and documents of different application areas, for example, when an item is added to a purchase
line.
Process Flow
1 Managing Suppliers
1.1. Create Suppliers
• Create a New Supplier
The Create Supplier screen allows you to add new suppliers to your supplier list.
Purchasing → Supplier →Create Supplier
Input the name into Big Supplier tab and maybe others information
• Create new Contact Information, enter the appropriate data into the following contact fields:
o Contact Information
o Country Code
o Area Code
o Phone Number
o Extension
o E-Mail Address
o Web URL
o

This is detail screen after create suppliers look like this:
We can directly create order for your supplier here by its also transfer to order tab. Identifying
the business need – what to buy – how much of it – and when it is needed for delivery
Approved Requirements Screen
This screen shows you a list of the approved requirements which should be ordered from the
Suppliers.
The list shows :
• Supplier: name and ID of the supplier
• Number of unique products to be ordered from this supplier. Note this is the number of
products, not the quantity. For example, if you had 3 products for 50 each, "3" will be shown
here, not 150.
• Facility: Select your warehouse for this purchase order. There are three options to the right of
each line of supplier:
• Review Order: Click on this to review the list of items from this supplier and then select the
ones to be ordered. You can then initiate the purchase order.
• Order All: Click on this to create a purchase order for all the approved requirements.
• Cancel All: Cancel all the approved requirements for this supplier
• Create PO from Approved Requirements
• Qty Sold - Quantity of this item sold in the last three months.
• Purchase Order Quick Entry will assemble a purchase order from the selected requirements and
leave you in the final page to review and create the purchase order. Cancel will cancel the
selected requirements.
1.2. Create Purchase Agreement
This screen allows you to create an agreement between your organization and a supplier.
• Agreement Date : The date and time that the purchase agreement is created. Enter the date
manually or search for it using the calendar widget. Select the time using the drop down menus.
• From Date/Thru Date : These fields specify the time frame the purchase agreement will be
valid through. Enter the From and Thru date manually or search for them using the lookup
widget. Select the times using the drop down menus.
• Description : This field allows you to enter a brief description of the purchase agreement to
distinguish it from other agreements.
• Full Text : This field allows you to enter the full text of the purchase agreement.
Clicking the Create button will create the purchase agreement
1.3. Outsource a Task
Use this screen to set up a single routing task for outsourcing to a specific supplier. The setup
function associates a production routing task with a supplier (you have already defined using
Purchasing → Supplier Tab → Create Supplier) as an outsourced service provider. You can then use
the special processing features in opentaps production, requirements, and purchasing areas to
outsource this task whenever it is needed.
This test verifies that a routing task could be outsourced correctly.
Create a routing task in Manufacturing →Routing and associated with the routing
PROD_COST Go to Purchasing → Suppliers → Outsource a Task Enter the following values:
• Supplier ID = DemoSupplier
• Routing Task ID = ID of the routing task you just created
• ProductId, internal name, supplier product id, supplier product name = anything you'd like
• Price = unit price
Click on Create
Now go back to Catalog and find your product using the productId you just entered. You should
be able to see the following information on the various tabs:
• Product: productId, type of "Contract manufacturing service", internal name what you
just set
• Suppliers: a record for the purchasing information, including supplier product id, name,
and last price
• Work Efforts: a record linking this product to the routing task Id and a relation type of
"Product for purchasing outsourced manufacturing task"

management of product inventory through the use of inventory quantity and reordering specifications,
and other factors.
2.2 Open Requirements Screen
This screen can be accessed from the Main Navigation page as follows:
Click Purchasing Icon → Planning Tab → Open Requirements button
This screen is intended for you to review and act on the open purchasing requirements which
could be generated automatically from sales orders or from MRP. It shows a list of all the requirements
which have not yet been approved for one of the company owned facilities, or a third party facility
where the company maintains inventory.
2.3 Approved Requirements Screen
This screen shows you a list of the approved requirements which should be ordered from the
Suppliers.
The list shows :
• Supplier: name and ID of the supplier

leave you in the final page to review and create the purchase order.
Cancel will cancel the selected requirements.
2.5 Run MRP Screen
This screen allows you to specify the options for running Material Resources Planning (MRP)
to plan your purchasing and production runs. When business circumstances change, you can run MRP
again to update your plans and supersede any earlier results which may no longer be valid. MRP is
highly automated and comprehensive, making it a powerful tool for excellent fulfillment results.
Open this screen as follows:
From Main Navigation screen Click: Purchasing Icon
Click Planning Tab →Run MRP button.
Fill in the Required and Optional parameters as follows:
• Facility: Specify the warehouse or facility for this MRP run. (Required)
o A Facility and optionally a MRP Store Group is required to run MRP.
• MRP Store Group: Optionally, specify a MRP Store Group for this MRP run.
o Otherwise, the system runs MRP for all the stores.
o If you specify a MRP Store Group, then MRP will only create requirements only for
products which have orders in the store group. Caution: It will not create requirements
for products which may be below minimum stock for your warehouse but have no
outstanding orders in the store (group).
• Product ID: This field can be used to specify a single product for this MRP run. Caution: If
you run MRP for only a single product, it will not consider the parts in it's Bill Of Material if it
has one. This is recommended only for testing purposes when you have a very large number of
products.
• Use with Caution: Supplier: Use this field to run MRP for only products which can be
purchased from a specified supplier as of today.
• Default Years in Future for Sales Orders: Specify how many years in the future to assume
sales orders should be fulfilled if there is no ship date set on the order. The system will
determine when a sales order will ship based on the following criteria if provided in the Order:
o Ship Group's ship by date
o Ship Group's ship before date
o Item's ship before date
o Item's ship after date
o Item's estimated delivery date
If none of those fields are set, it will add the default years to the current run date/time to
determine when items should ship. By default, this is set to 1 year in the future.
• Inventory Receipt Time Buffer: Specify how far back in time the item receipt dates for
purchase orders, approved purchase requirements, or production runs should be shifted versus
their stated delivery or production dates for this MRP run. This flag provides a buffer between
one hour and one month to simulate common sense in solve the following problem:
• Percentage of Sales Forecast to Use: Specifies what percentage of the value in your sales
forecasts (stored in the SalesForecastItem database entity) should be used to project inventory.
"50" in this case means that 50% of the forecast sales will be used for MRP. (New to version
1.4)
• Create Transfer Requirements?:
o = Yes, Specifies that inventory transfer requirements will be created when inventory
is available in a backup warehouse, which must be reviewed and approved, or
o = No, Specifies that inventory transfer requests will be created directly and ready to
execute. (New to version 1.4.) For a discussion of this option see Material Resources
Planning topic "Transfering Inventory".
• Create Pending Internal Requirements?:
o =Yes, Specifies that Required Production Runs will be held for possible consolidation
before they are converted to Production Runs, or
o =No, Specifies that Requirements for Production Runs will be converted directly into
Production Runs upon Approval. See Requirements.
Note that Facility is required for MRP to run.
Click: Run MRP to run the MRP process you have specified.
When it is finished, you will be taken to the View MRP Screen. This screen shows all of the
MRP events on the time line for this run in chronological order including:
• Sales Orders
• Purchase Orders
• Production Runs
• Inventory Transfers
• Sales Forecasts (percentage specified)
• Proposed Purchase Orders
• Proposed Manufacturing Runs
