DDMRP in D365? Can D365 MRP consider where an order 'should have been' fulfilled from, rather than where it was?

SCENARIO

Customers have a default warehouse
A Customer in Chicago places an order.
The items on the order should have been in stock in their default warehouse (Chicago), but weren't
The order was fulfilled from a non-default warehouse in Dallas

NEED

D365 needs to recognize the demand--really--was for the Chicago warehouse--not Dallas--and plan appropriately.

QUESTION

Is there a way to accomplish this in D365 (w/o an ISV or extension)?

Thanks in advance

Hi partner,

There is no such OOB feature, you have to some customization ,such as create a transfer order when the order is placed.

Good afternoon.

You're saying create a fake transfer order (since I'm not actually transferring any physical goods)? I am not sure (1) how to, (2) impacts of it. Any thoughts?

Hi

If you are wanting to get a true picture of demand, definitely needed if you are sizing buffers based on demand history, then the only way inside D365SCM would be to edit the InventTrans table, which is where all inventory transaction history is held. Unfortunately this is not allowed in D365SCM since the inventtrans history needs to reflect what actually happened. If you considered using a ISV solution for planning, such as www.b2wise.com, then a copy is made of this history just for planning purposes, which can and should be edited to reflect the demand history that you need.

If I understand the requirement correctly, the demand signal is in the warehouse Chicago and MRP should plan to receive the stock there from another warehouse..

Of course you can do this , by planning by site and warehouse the product in question.

You would need to mark site and warehousing as planning dimensions and on the item coverage group for that site and warehouse ( chicago) mark a transfer rule from another warehouse.

MRP will place the planned transfer order to fulfill Chicago replenishing from the original warehouse and then place on the origin warehouse a work or purch order depending on the "make or buy" policy you got associated with the product.

This assumes that Chicago warehouse will be refilled only from a specific warehouse that you would need to specify on the item coverage table.
