Hello
I have a question regarding how MRP calculates suggested manufacturing orders during a regeneration in GP.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a component item in my finished goods' bill of materials which is, itself a BOM. This component has a default site which is also its issue from site on the finished goods' BOM. In this case, the quantity of the component item is split between 2 sites: e.g. site 1 has 100 on hand and is the issue from site and site 2 has 100 on hand.
if i combine the 2 sites quantities (summary) then i have enough component to meet my finished good forecast BUT, and please correct me if I’m wrong here, MRP is only looking at site 1 as that is the issue from site on the finished good BOM. As a result, MRP is suggesting that i manufacture another 100 of the component item to meet my forecast, when i actually do have enough stock in total.
My question is this; is there a setting that i can change/select to set MRP to check the items quantity across all sites, rather than only the issue from site quantity when regenerating? That way MRP would know that i have 200 in total and would not suggest an additional MO.
Thanks.
Simon
