Review Purchase Suggestions

Suggestions are advisory purchase recommendations from inventory optimization. Planners decide what becomes a real purchase requisition.

Steps

1. Open Supply Chain Planning → Suggestions.
2. Review quantity and rationale for each open suggestion.
3. Action — creates a real Purchase Requisition through the normal creation path; the suggestion is marked actioned. Continue in Purchase as you would for any requisition.
4. Dismiss — closes the suggestion without buying.
5. You can Generate on demand; a weekly job also refreshes suggestions.

Rules of thumb

• Open, materially unchanged suggestions are updated in place rather than duplicated.
• Items covered by an active network or DDMRP decoupling point are skipped here so you do not get conflicting advice.
• The engines never silently create purchase orders — Action is always a human step.
