Subject: How Does MRP Handle a Purchase Req With the Fixed Indicator Flagged?
We are using the Purchase Req Fixed ID as a method to lock in a planned purchase from a supplier (combining multiple requirements into a specific planned supply line).
I understand that MRP will not touch this Purchase Req, but will create new Purch Reqs around this planned supply as dictated by demand.
I am finding that if new demand comes in at an earlier date than my Fixed Purchase Req, MRP is viewing this as the earliest potential supply date & is now consuming the Fixed req planned supply to this new demand (though late), rather than creating a new Purchase Req at the Planned Delivery Date that matches to this new earlier demand.
Is this how the Fixed Purchase Req functionality is supposed to work or are there config settings that need to be adjusted for this feature to operate as desired? |
