Definicja collective purchase order

Co znaczy COLLECTIVE PURCHASE ORDER:

Purchase order placed by a distribution center by adding up the quantities of existing warehouse orders/sales orders (pull method). A collective purchase order is usually placed with an external vendor. The vendor can, however, be a different distribution center.

When a collective purchase order is generated, the system records the planned distribution of the merchandise and uses the information for controlling how the merchandise is distributed at goods receipt.

Example

Two warehouse orders are sent to a distribution center. All items are required on 17.10. of the same year:

Purchase order 1 Item 1: material 1, quantity 100, delivery date 17.10. Item 2: material 2, quantity 200, delivery date 17.10. Purchase order 2 Item 1: material 1, quantity 150, delivery date 17.10. Item 2: material 2, quantity 300, delivery date 17.10.

Both materials are procured using a collective purchase order placed with "Extra Inc." The total processing time in the distribution center and the time it takes to be delivered to the store is 2 days. The following collective purchase order is therefore created:

collective purchase order 1 for distribution center 1:

Collective purchase order 1 Item 1: material 1, quantity 250, delivery date 15.10. Item 2: material 2, quantity 500, delivery date 15.10.
