How can you add up the quantities via the MRP

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello all,

We run every monday a MRP run for couches. This end up in a planned order.

The question: is it possible to sum up the qty per item? This so we don't get two lines with item 16783588 with qty1, but one line with item 16783588 and qty 2

Is there a parameter in which you can arrange this?

Hope to hear from you.

    Check the Coverage settings for the Item (either via Item coverage, or the Coverage group on the Item). If you find you have the Coverage code set to Requirement, consider using a Coverage group which has the Coverage code set to Period, and a Coverage period of 7 days.

    This can give the possibility for demand for the item over a 7 day period to be grouped on to a single Planned order.

    Thanks for your answer. The problem is not that I get multiple orders. The problem is that I have multiple lines on the PO with the same item.

    Example:

    we sell during a week 3 couches on 3 different salesorder. These are all with item number 123456. After running the MRP I get one PO.

    But in this PO a het three lines with qty 1.

    And I want one line in the PO with qty 3.

    Is that possible?

    Hi Martijn,

    What is the delivery date on the different sales orders? If this would be within the period as mentioned by Guy, it will group them in one planned PO line.

    Sorry for the late respons. I just this:

    2 different salesorders with item x. Both req del date the same. This ends up in one PO with 1 line and 2 pcs. SO this ok.

    After that this case:

    1 SO with del date of 23-9

    1 SO with del data of 24-9

    The cov period is 7 days. But this end up in one PO with 2 lines

    Hi Martijn,

    Have you tried changing values for the negative days and positive days?

    Hi Andre,

    Thanks. That's the solution. I changed the neg and pos days into 7 days. And now i have one line with 2 pcs

    Regards,
