The PO Generation Mode category defines valid PO generation modes assigned to parts through Part Master Maintenance. (The PO Generation Mode field is displayed on the Purchasing screen DE100S08 in Part Master Maintenance and on the detail screen DE800S04 in Part Master Inquiry.) The modes determine whether the Vendor Allocation (Purchasing) or the Endorsement Allocation (Repetitive Supply) process will occur.
PO GENERATION MODE
Required. The PO generation mode determines which kind of allocation, if any, will be used to allocate planned PO requisitions. Valid values are ODETTE/ANSI and VDA specific: values 1-6 are valid if using ODETTE/ANSI messaging, values 7, 8, 9, A, B, and C correspond, respectively to values 1-6, but are only valid if VDA messaging is used (as specified on Reference File category N32).
1 - Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by rank.
2 - Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by quantity not accounted for. (This method takes into account received quantities.)
3 - Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by planned quantity.
4 - Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by rank; however, the firm horizon is rounded to an entire number of weeks.
5 - Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by quantity not accounted for; however, the firm horizon is shifted to the last day of the week (Sunday), if Repetitive Supply manages the firm horizon.
6 - Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by planned quantity; however, the firm horizon is shifted to the last day of the week (Sunday), if Repetitive Supply manages the firm horizon.
7 - Reserved for RS VDA parts only. Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by rank.
8 - Reserved for RS VDA parts only. Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by quantity not accounted for. (This method takes into account received quantities.)
9 - Reserved for RS VDA parts only. Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by planned quantity.
A - Reserved for RS VDA parts only. Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by rank; however, the firm horizon is rounded to an entire number of weeks.
B - Reserved for RS VDA parts only. Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by quantity not accounted for; however, the firm horizon is shifted to the last day of the week (Sunday), if Repetitive Supply manages the firm horizon.
C - Reserved for RS VDA parts only. Part is handled by Repetitive Supply. Allocation is determined by planned quantity; however, the firm horizon is shifted to the last day of the week (Sunday), if Repetitive Supply manages the firm horizon.

Allocation by rank (PO generation modes 1, 4, 7, or A) is the most straightforward method and is probably the best to use for "simple" relationships with vendors. For example, if you always purchase an item from the same vendor, allocation by rank is the most appropriate method to use.
If the value is Y, planned requisitions may be covered by purchase orders without first being released. without first being released. In addition, planned requisitions are likely to be assigned automatically to purchase orders by the vendor allocation process.
If the value is N, planned requisitions must first be released before a purchase order may cover them.
If the value is 1-9, A, B, or C, planned requisitions are likely to be assigned automatically to purchase orders by the Repetitive Supply allocation process. (NOTE: These allocation methods process requisitions generated by requirements planning only--not master scheduling.)
