Planned Orders are created more than one time from Master Planning

Hi,

We are setting up Master Planning, when we run master planning it creates planned order then we firm this planned order to be converted to a purchase order.

But if master planning batch job run again before this purchase order is received, a planned order is created again for the same items. (It may cause a confusion and duplication)

We tried to enable "Include inventory transactions" option, it is working fine but it takes into consideration both of (Ordered in Total (POs) && On-Ordered (Item Journals)) while running the master planning.

My question, Is there a way to make master planning that doesn't create planned orders for items that already have order in total qty and doesn't take on consideration on ordered qty.

I have the same question (0)

It will all be around the way you have configured it and what you have asked it to do.

When you ask "Is there a way to make master planning that doesn't create planned orders for items that already have order in total quantity" the answer is "yes, of course, otherwise no one would use it if it continually reordered items!".

The harder part is then figuring out why it is doing it, for this you would need to show us screen shots of the net requirements for the item, with the planned order line, and the coverage group configuration etc.

Hi Ahmed,

The option "Include inventory transactions" will look at both purchase orders and inventory journals, as per the description:

Include inventory transactions: "Select this option if the master scheduling calculation should include all expected transactions. These include sales orders and purchase orders, inventory journals, production orders that are not yet registered as physical receipts, and issues from inventory."

I could not find a setting to have this option separated by the type of supply.

Thank you,

Adrian Serban

Thanks Steven for your replay.

I know that make master planning can doesn't create planned orders for items that already have order in total quantity. but when we do this master planning take in consideration order in total and on ordered. I need master planning see order in total and not see on ordered.

Hi Ahmed

This is contradictory to your original post. In your original post you said it was reordering when you had no demand, but now you want to reorder it again when you dont need it?

As a simple example, you have 0 in stock, and sales order in 2 weeks needs 50, you are purchasing 250 as a minimum order quantity. At the receipt of the purchase order, or at any point prior to more demand being raised, planning will not suggest you buy more. It balances demand to supply with order modifiers to cope with your business based upon safety stock, seasonal demand, forecast etc.

What is your issue, it is now not clear to me?

Where are you setting the item coverage, and what are the settings of the item coverage group associated to the item coverage/groups.

As for Y what is the item coverage group on the item, can you add a picture of the net requirements for that item? Y must have demand, otherwise it will not plan, so there is something in the net requirements.

Z will depend upon the coverage group settings and order modifiers, you need some, it is then how it fulfils it.

X it should order, but you have not mentioned it. I have presumed "order" is needed, and ordered is the replenishment.
