Linking sales orders

To link sales orders

Open: Planning > MPS > Link Sales Orders.

    Sales orders which are not currently linked and do not have allocations are listed.

  1. Select the sales orders you want to link.
  2. Click OK.
  3. The status of the sales orders is updated to Yes in the Linked Column in the Master Production Schedule - List.

    Note: To see this column, right-click in the Master Production Schedule - List, select Columns and then select Linked.

    When you run MRP next, a recommendation is made to raise a batch works order to fulfil this sales order. The MRP Recommendation reference number is displayed in the Linked To column in the Master Production Schedule - List.

    Note: To see the Linked To column, right-click in the Master Production Schedule - List, select Columns and then select Linked To.

    When you action the recommendation and raise the batch works order to fulfil the sales order, the exact quantity defined in the sales order is used.

    To unlink a sales order which you have linked in MPS, use the Unlink Sales Orders option.

    Note: You cannot unlink a sales order in MPS if it has been linked in Sales Order Processing. In that case you must use the unlink option with the Works Orders module.
