Planning Worksheet

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I’m running the planning worksheet for an item.
This item has skus in location 10 and 12. item sku in Location 10 is set-up as the make location. item sku in Location 12 is setup with replenishment type “Transfer” from location 10. Now when I use a forecast that has demand only for location 12 and run MRP/MPS for this item. The planning worksheet shows the lines for creating the production orders in location 10 but it doesn't show a line to transfer any of the quantity to location 12. It likes the system realizes I need to make the items based on the forecast but the system ignores that these items need to be transferred to a new location.

RE: Planning Worksheet

Thanks for the response Craig. I understand what you are saying. I was hoping the Forecast would act as the demand for that location but like you said it appears the system doesn't work that way.

RE: Planning Worksheet

I think the reason it is not creating the transfer lines is because there is not a real demand for those items in location 12.

The intention of the production forecast is to create a demand for the finished goods so that MRP can determine the raw material requirements n advance and not only when the actual demand arises. However the replenishment for location 12 is based on the planning parameters for that SKU.

I would expect that as soon as there is a real demand in location 12, then it would suggest the transfer.

Hope this helps - I see you posted it a while ago so it may be too late :)
