Scheduling agreement's cum. quantity in transit and MRP

[former_member207541]

Hi,

We have a scheduling agreement with negative cumulative quantity in transit; the MRP run is creating planned orders for this quantity. Why?

It's clear for me that when the quantity in transit is positive (reception was not yet been confirmed by client) it has to be MRP relevant, that has a business logic. But when the quantity is negative?... I cannot find the logic behind it.

Kind regards,

Hi

Are you working with negative stocks in plant? Generally if negative stocks are to be allowed in system then there are two levels -one is Sloc and second is plant/material level.

In that case system will do plan the additional qty in order to ful fill the negative stock.Change your strategy to 11-Gross requirement Planning and then try with MRP run.

Hi Anupam,

we are not working with negative stock at any level.

Actually, the negative cumul. transit quantity is not a stock quantity. It is the difference between the cumul. quantity on delivery orders and the cumul. quantity received by the customer.

Now, when this quantity in transit is positive = it means that the qoods were not yet received by the customer, they are stil on the way = there is a business logic in the generation of planned orders during the MRP run for this quantity (if it never reaches the customer etc.).

The cumul. quantity in transit can appear just as a consequence of an error (it means that the customer has confirmed the reception of more than I have send him); it is clear that this error has to be corrected and I have no problem in doing that. My problem lies in the fact that I cannot find a business logic in the generation of planned orders for this negative quantity... as it in fact happens during the MRP run.
