From your first email understood that you want the system not to consume the PIR's against the PR's while MRP is running. For this you can follow any of the below process.
1. Change your MRP type as P1, and set a planning time fence for your desire days. So the proposals (created by the MRP) are firmed automatically whenever they are in planning time fence and MRP will no consider these proposals while running for second time. Also you can set a roll forward period to delete the unwanted firmed proposals. [OR]
2. In your planning strategy, uncheck the Ind.reqmnts reduction and keep consumption as blank (No consumption with customer requirements), Also set allocation indicator as blank.

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? |
