Planned purchase order wrong site

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 535

Hi wondering if someone can help

i know very little about planning but we have an issue in our company that planned purchase orders are being confirmed on a batch job. The issue stems that some of these planned purchase order lines are for sites that shouldn’t have a purchase order planned to fill them, and in fact don’t complete the warehouse step against a site. In fact the site and warehouse we need the planned po to be for is site 1 and whs 1 but the line is created for site 2 and no warehouse. This leaves the header blank in most cases also as another line for site 1 and whs 1 is on the same po. Which then impacts and edi process that needs the site and whs details from this header on the po.

the item has no default warehouse or site set on the default order settings, none is set on the supplier and I cannot find anywhere anything to specifically direct to site 1 or whs 1. However I have found a item coverage min/max that is in place to do this for purchase orders. However it hasn’t prevented site 2 being used. Which also has a item coverage but not for purchases but only transfers.

can anyone point me where in the planning set up this could be failing?

    Hi tl82,

    Can you check the Storage Dimension Group? It seems to me that Coverage is checked only for Site (not warehouse) which is unusual.

    On the warehouse form, you could say that whs2 (if there were one) is Manual planned meaning that master planning would ignore inventory and demand in that warehouse.  However, we do not have this at site level which means that whenever there is a demand at site 2, Master Planning will compensate by an order for site 2.

    To prevent any demand from being considered for Site2, you will need to change the Items' Item Coverage for Site2 to <Manual> (from min/max).

    Regards,

    Danny
