Current behavior:
After Planning Optimization, when multiple planned purchase orders for the same vendor are firmed in a single action, the system creates purchase order lines out of sequence. The resulting line numbers do not follow the expected order based on the requested receipt date.
Expected behavior:
When multiple planned purchase orders for the same vendor are firmed in a single action, the system should create purchase order lines in sequence. The line numbering should follow the requested receipt date in ascending order.
Business impact:
Out-of-sequence line numbering reduces readability and makes purchase order review and follow-up more difficult for buyers, especially when managing multiple deliveries for the same vendor.
Comments
Not only purchase order line sequencing。 but also production order/Batch order, after we firmed all orders in the day. all orders has no convention or By criterial to assign the number which is definitely a chaos to business users for production. Like we have 100 productions order for 10 products. but for 1 product, it behaved be sequenced one after one in MRP engine. and no Planning Optimization, the numbers jumped to another product without any rule.I guess it's because of Planning Optimization, it used more CPU/memory to get the orders firmed and used non-sequenced numbers..I fully support this.
