Here is the scenario: We have components to build 9,000 of item X. Our need is 10,000. Currently, D365 will not plan a production order until we have components for all 10,000. We want D365 create planned production orders for the components that we have in order to maintain flow to our customers. Is there a way to do this that isn't manual?

Hi Carey!

As far as I know - no. Other way could be to split Planned production orders, but still it requires the manual procedure. I don't think that there is a way to do it 100% automatically. Sorry.

Hanna,

Thanks for the response. Is there any way for MRP to automatically create the Production order for 9,000 without us having to perform a manual process?

Thanks,

Carey

RE: Planned Production Orders For Partial Quantities

Hi cryerson!

If I understand you correctly, you have in the Sales order line quantity 10000, but you want to start the Production order for 9000 and partially cover the demand.

You can do this through the creating the Production order from Sales order line. Click on "Product and supply - Production order", in the opened form edit the field "Quantity" from 10000 to 9000, click Create. After that in the new Production order you can run the scheduling process (tab Schedule - Schedule operations/Schedule jobs) that will generate needed Planned purchase and Planned production orders for components if needed, and it will generate the Production route and jobs.

Later Master planning will plan Planned production order only for the rest of demand - for 1000 that was not covered by new Production order.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Hanna
