Short question: Is there a way to keep a manufacturing policy of "make-to-order", a reordering policy of "lot-for-lot", and still have BC respect the Order Modifiers? For example, consider the following:
1) Quantity on hand is 10.
2) Quantity on sales order is 100.
3) Safety stock is 200.
4) Order minimum is 150.
To meet this demand, I need produce 290. If the system respected the order multiple, MRP would recommend two production orders for 150 each (total 300), or depending on accumulation period, 1 production order for 300.
But instead, what the planning engine says to is to create two production orders: 1 for 150, and 1 for 140. Each production run cannot be less than 150 and manually updating quantities in the planning worksheet is untenable.
Changing the policy to "make-to-stock" would respect the order modifiers, but when a production is created from the planning worksheet, we need all the sub-assemblies that get consumed to the parent item to be nested as additional component lines on the production order. That does not work with "make-to-stock". If it did, changing to "make-to-stock" would solve our problem.
Am I missing something? Two additional variables: SKU's are required and Lot-For-Lot is required.
