Delivery on specific dates, MRP calculation PurReq

834 Views

Hi all

I have a situation, where the vendor is only delivering on a specific(s) day(s).

Let's take one material, where it is only possible for the vendor to deliver on Fridays,

I have a requirement for material XX on thursday 10.09, but the MRP calculates the PurReq to be delivered Friday 11.09.

This is not a good solution, because the material will arrive later than the requirement.

I would like to have the MRP calculation the PurReq to be delivered on 04.09, so that the Next week requirement is captured.

I have set up the material master with a Planning Cycle, where MRP calculates every day, but i then have another planning cycle for delivery, which is only set for Fridays. Furthermore i have set up a MRP type that uses MRP procedure "R" (please see attachment)

Lead time for material is 7 days

So let me try to illustrate

27.08.2015 --> Calculating MRP

10.09.2015 --> Requirement for material XX

11.09.2015 --> PurReq's delivery date is calculated

This illustrate the issue = the material will arrive one day after the requirement.

I would like that the PurReq's delivery date was calculated to 04.09.2015

27.08.2015 --> Calculating MRP

04.09.2015 --> PurReq's delivery date is calculated

10.09.2015 --> Requirement for material XX
