Can MRP create planned purchase orders for a project?

We are a construction-based company, and we manage projects with SCM: purchase, manufacturing, and inventory.
 
We are currently using the MRP for products not related to the projects, and it is working perfectly.
 
The question is whether there is a way to specify to MRP that the PO must be planned/created for a specific Project? 
 
We really appreciate your input and feedback.
 
Thanks!

    I don't think you can have MRP create Purchase Order for a specific project.  A good hint is that the Planned Orders (ReqPO table) have a Project ID field.  Another is that there is no pegging available to a Project.
     
    Best you can achieve is using a Project Forecast and have that forecast generate demand for an inventoried item, which would trigger a Purchase Order.

    Hi Danny, thanks for your input!
     
    The Project Forecast is a good idea, although we currently we don't manage forecasts...but I'll take a look at it...
