# Supply orders for a project

Industrial Equipment Manufacturing follows the standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central functionality for material planning in projects and no longer uses the "project specific" functionality.

## Steps - Order items of the type Inventory

Order items of the type **Inventory** as follows:

1. To order from a project, open the ProjectPlanning lines.
2. From the **Replenishment** menu, open **Order Planning**. The filter in the header is fixed to ProjectDemand.
3. Use the **Calculate Plan** function to update the order planning lines.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> - Planning lines are only recognized by the calculation when the line status is **Released**. This lets the planner work more specifically, for example, release only the planning lines for which engineering is completed and specifications and drawings are available.
> - In **Make Order**, you can also choose **Selected Lines** (in addition to **Active Order** and **Active Line**). Make this selection in the **Calculate Plan** page.

1. From **Order Planning**, use the **Make Order** function to create the replenishment orders as indicated on the order planning line.
2. A supply order is created with a reservation entry of the type **Reservation** and the **Binding** option set to **Order-to-Order**.
3. The ProjectPlanning line references the supply order in the **Replenishment Document Type** and **Replenishment Document No.** fields. Open the replenishment order from the **Replenishment** menu on the project planning line.

## Other types

To order one of the following project planning line types, use:

| Type | Action |
| --- | --- |
| Items of the type **Service** and **Non-Inventory** | Create non-inventory purchase quotes or orders. |
| Resources | Create non-inventory purchase quotes or orders. |
| G/L Accounts | Create non-inventory purchase quotes or orders. |
| Several ProjectPlanning lines to one production order | Create multiple-line production order. |

For more information, see: [Purchase quotes and orders](/business-central/docs/bc-purchase-quotes-and-orders).

## Control supply from project

To ensure the links between ProjectPlanning lines and supply orders are correct, enforce supply orders to be created from the ProjectPlanning line using the **Control Supply from Project** setting. This setting is per project and is part of the base template. When enabled, an error appears when selecting a ProjectNo. from the purchase line: "The supply for Project%1 is controlled from the Project Planning Line. You cannot enter supply manually."

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> In Project Control Suite, receiving inventory items can be disconnected from posting the planning line. The **Control Supply from Project** setting on the **Project card** controls this:
> 
> - When **On**, supply orders can only be created from within the project, either through **Order Planning** or the **Planning Worksheet**. Upon receipt, items are received in inventory (item ledger entry). The ProjectLedger entry is created when the **ProjectPlanning** line is posted.
> - When **Off**, a project and project task can be selected from the supply order. Upon receipt, both the item ledger entry and the project ledger entry are created.Your content goes here
