MRP run starts production too late

115 Views

Please consider this scenario:

Item X is a production item with BOM:

Item Y qty 5 (lead time for purchase 10 days)

Item Z qty 10 (lead time for purchase 10 days)

My current stock is 999 of both Y and Z. Now i have a sales order from 100 pieces of Item X to be delivered next week.

I run my MRP and it knows i need 1 more of Item Z to complete the order. The MRP recommends buying item Z, which will take 10 days to reach me, and then start the production order of 100 items which means my entire order is late..

I would like the MRP to advise me to start production of 99 items of item Z so that i can deliver 99 items on time and produce the last item once product Z arrives. How could I achieve this in SAP B1?
