All –
We produce Blank A and Blank A can only be cut down into 3 end items, Part B, C and D. These three parts ALWAYS are made by this blank no matter if there is only demand for one side we have to produce a full blank.
To make things more complicated Part C is a test panel that is tested and destroyed after every build to validate the quality of the blank, which in turn validates the quality of Part B and D.
For the examples I will leave out Part C since it is small enough that I don’t believe it plays a big enough roll, or at least not big enough where we cannot manage this.
Our site is set up to only use BOM type parts.
Blank A has a UOM of Pcs.
You cannot take the blank and make any other combination of parts (B,B,D or C,D,D etc.)
Part B uses .45 pcs of Blank A, .5 of Part C
Part C uses .10 pcs of Blank A
Part D uses .45 pcs of Blank A, .5 of Part C
My issues is we have poor yield on Part B (~85%) so we end up with a lot of inventory of Part D (yield of ~100%). When this happens and MRP runs, it plans to build two Part B’s out of one Blank A which we cannot do. This causes issues when ordering RAW material for this part since the Buyer only sees approximately half the demand necessary.
Is there a way and if so what is the best way to set up AX in a way the it always plans to build a single
Blank A weather there is demand for 20 Part B’s and no Part D’s or there is demand for 20 Part B’s and Part D’s.
Example:
Demand: 20 x Part B, and 0 Part D
Derived requirements: 20 x Blank A
Demand: 30 x Part B and 30 x Part D
Derived requirements: 30 x Blank A
Demand: 17 x Part B and 13 x Part D
Derived requirements: 17 x Blank A
Thank you in advance and please let me know if there is any additional information needed.
