Purchase orders & Transfer orders for one production run

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by 32
Hi all,
 
Looking for some advise, is it possible for the planning worksheet to generate transfer orders and purchase orders for stock required on a production order.
 
for example
 
I have a production of 'finished product 1'
Part of the BOM is 'item 1' - this is purchased both directly to site or to an off site location
 
in the offsite location I have 50k and I have planned to use 100k
 
Can the system automatically (from planning worksheet) create a transfer order of the 50k in off site storage and also generate a purchase order for another 50k direct from the supplier to site.
 
when I have tried it will either do one or the other (purchase or transfer) and this is not what I need
I have the same question (0)

    It will not suggest both, but it can do both.  The planning worksheet works off of a rule, such as always purchase this product to this location OR always transfer this product from another warehouse.  In your situation it will likely suggest a Purchase Order to your other warehouse and a transfer of the full quantity to your production site.
     
    Just remember, the planning worksheet is only giving a suggestion.  The planner has the ability to make changes to the suggestions and replenish material how they want.  As long as the Planning Worksheet sees the supply to fulfil the demand and is kept from changing those decisions, it will move on to the next need.
     
    In this case your planner will need to make the adjustments before carrying out the plan.
