D365FO Using Inventory Status with ATP

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Moribund 206

Hi,

Our client has specific products where coverage and planning is carried out at inventory status code level. This is to enable the ring fencing of stock using the inventory status for specific customers whilst other customers will use "available" stock. This works well and planning produces planned orders to meet the demands set for each inventory status and at sales order level reservations can only be made for stock which is applicable to that customer. 

The problem is ATP. When ATP runs for these products it seems to have no regard for inventory status - providing inventory is not blocked it is regarded as available. Is there any way around this or something I'm missing? 

Any suggestions gratefully received

Moribund

    Hi Moribund,

    Could you use an instance to describe your requirement?

    System only considers the inventory which is not blocked.

    Hi Mattguo,

    We have a 1000 on hand of a part where we want to ring fence for 3 large customers and the rest of the stock is available for all other customers . We create inventory codes for our 3 customers and assign 200 to each - the remaining 400 is available. In D365FO this is fully supported - we can plan by inventory code and reserve by inventory code on sales orders. However ATP can only distinguish blocked quantity - anything that isn't blocked is available for all customers.

    Hope this helps

    John

    Hi John,

    Sorry for the delayed reply.

    Do you mean the reserved inventory of customer A is considered by ATP of customer B?

    Still confused about your issue and requirement. It's better to use screenshots to describe.

    thanks for the response


    I’m not sure how .i can describe this any clearer but will try :-).

    in the scenario I described I have 4 lots of inventory- 3 have an inventory code which is customer specific for example “Rolls Royce” or ‘Toyota” these are equal to 200 units. I have a fourth inventory code which is simply “available (my default inventory status) for 400 units. If I raise an order for Rolls Royce I would expect ATP to tell me I had 200 available but ATP reports that I have a 1000. So ATP only looks at the inventory status that has a disposition code of available (not blocked);- itv doesn’t care that the I have linked a specific inventory status to a customer. Our customer  has got round this on their legacy system by having different part numbers for the same product (a different one per customer)

    What is confusing is that if .i set coverage by inventory status master planning will plan by inventory status. Sales demand for Rolls Royce will produce planned orders specifically for Rolls Royce and only allow reservation on Rolls Royce stock. I can also forecast by inventory status rather than customer. So it seems D365 caters for inventory status except in this one area which is a shame because otherwise it does exactly what we want.

    would be simple to use a seperate warehouse, turn off planning and keep the inventory with needed status in new warehouse

    It would be simpler if Microsoft fixed ATP so it worked in the same way as the rest of D365FO!

    Switching off planning won’t work for my client and they have far too many customers for whom they wish to ring fence stock to have separate warehouses for each. The only viable solution I can think of is to go back to having separate part numbers for each customer.

    Thanks for your input Rahul
