Hi Friends,

In master planning I have a scenario:, Consider I have production unit and producing one item of 4500 unit per month and Max production per day for this item is 150 qty. Now I want to run the master planning which will give me 30 planned batch order of 150 qty with order date and delivery date for each day from 1st of the month to end of the month so that I will simply select the planned order and firm it.

As of now what I did is created one sales order of 4500 qty and for that item in Default order setting I make the max order qty to 150. now when I run the master planning it gave me 30 orders of 150 qty each but with the same order and delivery date (Requested ship date of sales order).

Can anyone suggest me how I can get the planned orders of 150 qty for each day of the month, please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using production routes ?

With those you can workout how many hours to produce 150 pieces and then assign a calendar to that resource to work only those hours per day.

Then you run the plan with finite capacity.

Hi Alessandro,

thanks for your reply.

I tried with creating the route and link it to the item and then run the master planning, but no luck.

Hi Imran,

You may want to try this scenario using the demand forecast for an item. I did try it and seems to work.

Try these steps and see if the result is what you are looking for:

Path: Product information management > Products > Released products ; then select the item that you want the batch order created.

Go to Plan in the action pane then select "Demand Forecast" under Forecast group. The Demand forecast page opens, select "New" (IMPORTANT: In the "Sales quantity" field enter 150 which is the qty you want to produce daily. In the "Date" field enter the date you want as a start date of your first order. In the "Model" field make sure the model selected matches the forecast model set in the master plans, see screenshot of the forecast setup.

After the forecast is added, click Save then select "Allocate forecast". See screenshot for parameters. In the "End" field, enter the 30th date from your forecast date. When you're done, run master planning and it should generate a planned order of 150 for each day.

Thanks for sharing

So according to your setup you are planning only 14 days with finite capacity

your production route states that to make 1 pcs it takes 8 hours so I assume that MRP is not finding anything for the first 14 days and pushing ahead?

Could you share the planned orders schedule ?

Hi Alessandro,

I want to plan for 60 days (2 months), so in my plan i updated the "finite capacity time fence" to 60 from 14.

as per route i define the "Run Time" 8 and "process quantity " as 100, and in calendar 1 day working timing is 8 hours, mean 100 quantity to be produce in 1 days, Also in the default order setting for the item, max and min order qty in inventory section i made it 100.

It should work then.

Could you share the net requirement for the product ?

What is the system doing ?

If it is placing one big order it means the finite capacity is not working, if so please share capacity reserveation screen from the planned order screen

Hi Alessandro,

its working now by manually deleting the planned orders, Demand forecast (Enter manually again) and run the master planning, delivery dates come as required. I am not sure what went wrong issue got fixed by just deleting the data and run the master planning again.

Thanks Alessandro for your support.
