Marking

Hello,

How do you stop the system from marking? We are finding that a number of our items are being automatically marked when PO's are raised causing issues when the PO's are registered. I think it is linked to production orders because I have found some material reserved automatically, the same material we are having issues with on PO's.

The inventory is being split over two lines for example when the PO comes to be registered. I have found how to manually remove the marking per PO/production order but how do I stop the system from doing it completely?

Is it something to do with the way the items are setup that causes the system to mark automatically?

Thanks,

Alex

    RE: Marking

    Marking is how the system links related movements.  For example, a purchase order that is created directly from a sales order will have each of its lines marked between the two orders.  Production orders that are created, i.e. references, from other Production orders are marked to the parent Production BOM line.  Some Production orders, i.e. outside process, even create and are therefore marked to Purchase orders.

    Is the problem with the marking itself, or with the reservation that can sometimes occur automatically with marking?

    Reservation can be turned off under Inventory management, Setup, Inventory parameters.  Even turned off, some marking still a reserves automatically, but this can be solved with a simple code fix.

    RE: Marking

    Marking has a couple of purposes.  In an actual cost inventory model, it serves to associate inventory receipts with issues for the purpose of proper costing.  For example, in the case of a direct Purchase order, the cost value of the PO receipt becomes the cost value of the associated SO inventory issue, or the COGS of that sales order invoice line, and this is typically exactly what companies want.

    Marking also serves to manage reservation in some cases, as mentioned before.

    Marking can also be used in production scheduling, since it's how the system ties production supply and demand together.

    And so on.

    Hi,

    From master planning parameters> Firming group, Update marking field, set the value to 'No'. When you set this to No, no inventory marking is performed during firming.

    You can check this from the transaction level when you firm planned orders in the firming form> Setup tab> Update marking dropdown.

    thanks.

    RE: Marking

    Hi, thank you for your very helpful replies.

    The problem seems to be with marking and reservation because when registering PO's for certain raw materials, the load is split over more than one line where we want it just as one line so the complete load gets the same batch number.

    I have found the marking function for the PO but I have also found that stock is being reserved through production orders.

    If we could just get the PO's being registered without being split accross multiple lines.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    RE: Marking

    Hi,

    Are your batch numbers automatically generated by the system? How is the system splitting the quantity? If it is in standard multiple? If yes, you might want to check your number groups setup and remove the per qty allocation.

    Thanks.

    Yes our batch numbers are generated automatically. I have checked the setup of the number groups and the per qty allocation is blank??

    Thanks

    I know where the update marking drop down is within firmed orders. But, could you explain the difference between the options; No / Standard / Extended.

    Thank you

    Hi, you can search this in technet. I think your purchase orders are splitting because some quantities are already ordered reserved from your production order lines.
