22Hi,
I have a BC issue in production, specifically in planning the items, that I would appreciate your assistance with.
Case:
Our customer has a multi-level production at different locations. The process looks like this:
- Item P is produced at warehouse A with 6 KG of item G.
- G is produced at warehouse B with 3 KG of R1 and 3KG of R2.
- R1 and R2 are normally purchased at warehouse C and then transferred to warehouse B so that it can be processed into G there.
We have maintained the appropriate stockkeeping units for the items.
The stockkeeping units depicts this case: R1 and R2 are purchased at warehouse C and then transferred to warehouse B. G is produced there. G is then transferred to warehouse A to produce P.
We have already been able to depict the process in BC without any problems (also via the planning worksheets).
Now it is about the planning worksheets. The planning worksheets access the stockkeeping units of the articles and suggest how the articles should be procured. So far this all fits. BC suggests the way the stockkeeping units specify.
However, our customer now has the requirement that for R1 and R2 it should be checked whether these items are still available at some other location (D, E, F) and could be transferred instead of being purchased.
So concretely:
- R1 is 2KG still in stock at warehouse D.
- R2 is nowhere in stock
My problem at this point is that I can only create stockkeeping units once for each location.
Is it possible to configure BC to first check all stocks at all locations and to prefer a transfer to a purchase in planning?
Desired suggestion in the concrete case would be:
- Purchase order of 1KG R1 to warehouse C and stock transfer to warehouse B.
- Stock transfer of 2KG R1 from warehouse D to warehouse B
- Purchase order of 3 KG R2 to warehouse C and stock transfer to warehouse B
Thank you all in advance
