Planned order recommendations when moving inventory to a new warehouse

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 344 User Group Leader

We recently ran out of space in one warehouse (call it A)  and needed to move some inventory to another warehouse (call it B). Both sets of inventory are planned by the same staff and our intention is to replenish inventory in A with inventory from B.

There were existing purchase orders in A as well and MRP appears to be prioritizing the existing POs over the transfers. Is there any way around this other than the solution we found to schedule the open PO for warehouse B even though we don't ever intent to receive it there?

What we ended up doing to get the recommendation we wanted was to:

  • set the Item Coverage for A to use transfer orders from B
  • We set the Item Coverage for B to place purchase orders
  • We then moved the existing purchase order to B

What we don't like about this solution is that our warehouse staff makes the decision related to what will move into warehouse B and if our planning staff isn't aware of the need to make changes to the item they are getting planned orders for POs in A. If the planner doesn't do additional research they can, and have, executed a recommendation that we didn't want resulting in more inbound inventory.

Thanks in advance for recommendations on better approaches.

    Try this. 

    In warehouse you can define that requirements will be calculated at warehouse level by enabling Refilling

    In tracking  

    In Storage dimension groups for the item, enable Storage dimension groups at warehouse level

    You can also define al Item coverage settings at item level in master planning. Setup that for one warehouse, use transfer orders.
