Hi All,
I have this scenario below:
Warehouse A - On hand as of 7/1/2020 = 0 pcs
Warehouse B - On hand 7/1/2020 = 50 pcs
Now I have a demand of 60 pcs for Warehouse A on 7/20/2020, I am expecting that the system will create the following planned orders:
Planned transfer order of 50 pcs from Warehouse B to Warehouse A so that inventory in Warehouse A would be 50 pcs in total and a,
Planned purchase order for 10 pcs to be delivered to Warehouse A to bring up inventory to meet the demand quantity of 60 pcs.
I tried setting up, "Transfer order" planned order type and selecting the Warehouse B as the main warehouse in the released product > item coverage setup of Warehouse A, but it gave me the following planned orders:
Planned Purchase Order of 10 pcs for Warehouse B and a,
Planned Transfer Order of 60 pcs for Warehouse B to A, just wondering why the system suggested to purchase from Warehouse B and consolidate all the on-hand their before it gets delivered to Warehouse A.
I tried doing a reverse of that planned order type setup by creating a new item coverage line for the same item this time the item coverage is for Warehouse B and updated the general tab to set that warehouse B with a planned order type as "Transfer" and warehouse A as the "Main warehouse" now running the master planning it gave me the following planned orders:
Planned Purchase Order for 60pcs in Warehouse A.
Can you please shed light on this?
Thank you,
RIEL
