discontinued parts with MRP type VB

[former_member343155]

We have scenario as below :

1.       We have material A with stock 100, open PO 50.

2.       The material A is now planned to be phased out by replacing it with a new material B

3.       Material A had MRP type VB now we will change it to ND

4.       Material B will have MRP type VB

5.       So when we run MRP for materil B it should consider stock of material A & Open PO of Material A for calculation during the MRP run and the new requirement calculation should be

Example :

Material B is set up with RO point 100 and max stock of 150

So when we run MRP for Material B even though stock for material B is zero it should not generate any new requirement as stock & open PO of material A exists.

Hello

Please take a look on the following note, which explains the general restrictions of the discontinuation process:

43636 - Discontinued parts

The note provides the following explanation regarding the MRP type:

• The material is planned using an MRP procedure, for example, MRP type PD.

Therefore, since you are using MRP type VB, which uses a reorder point procedure, the discontinuation will not happen and your system is working as designed.

Hi Sanjeev,

Can't you do a transfer posting of material A to material B for the warehouse stock ?

Not sure about the open orders though.
