MRP monthly reduction principle

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the following scenario in AX without luck. I would luck to kwow if it is supported:

-Monthly forecast demands (set at 1st of every month).

-Run MRP AFTER the 1st of a month and reduct the sales order quantities from forecasted quantities for the period instead of just considering sales orders.

If the forecast is ignored, and if have remaining stock, it will be used to fulfill sales order from next periods, while the remaining forecasted quantities might be firmed during the actual month.

Example:

Item A:

Stock: 1000kg.

Demand forecast: 800kg (at May 1st for customer 01).

Sales order on may: 500kg (for customer 01).

If I run a Master Plan after May 1st, AX will calculate 500kg of item A available to fulfill next periods demands, however, there are 300kg which should be considered as possible to be saled during May and shouldn't be available.

Hope I explained myself and you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi NHNC,

I think that if a Forecast occurs on a date in the past, that AX will ignore it. You could use Period allocation categories (period keys) to split your forecast over the whole month:

Hi GuyTerry, thanks for your answer.

I think that it could be useful. I will try it on different scenarios.
