Different Lot Size for same Material with Procurement Type X

555 Views Last edit Mar 14, 2023 at 01:58 PM 3 rev

Hello,

I have the following situation: one material with Procurement Type = X (mixed internal and external) in MRP-2 view in Material Master; Material is provided by the external supplier with lot size 1000 and produced internally with lot size 100. In MM03, maximum lot size is 100 accordingly with internal production capacity limit.

Every MRP run, when external procurement is needed, system creates as many PR as needed to fulfil requirement quantities, splitting in lot size of 100; for instance if needed quantity is 500, system will create 5 Purchase Requisitions of 100 pieces each, instead of 1 PR with 500 (as supplier's limit is 1000).

I would like to have two maximum lot sizes, one for internal production and one for external procurement. Can I use maximum lot size of the Production Versions for this purpose? E.g. in MM03 I set up max lot size = 1000, then for the Production Versions used to produce the material internally I set up max lot size = 100 in C223.

Please advise.

Thanks!
