Individual Collective indicator not behaving with quota arrangement

[former_member404428]

Hello All

Am having FG X & its sub assly X2, for FG X am using strategy 50(MTO) & am using collecitve/individual indicator as 1 for sub assly X2. If am not using quota arrangement & i enter PIR for X for 100EA with the MRP run of X i get planned order type VP for sub assly X2 which all goes fine as per the settings, this planned order for X2 turns to order type LA after sales order arrival of X & subsequent MRP run, this is all well as per the settings. But when am using quota arrangement for sub assly X2 with same MRP data for X2 i get planned order type LA when i run MRP for X against its PIR, which shall not be the case. The system is not behaving as per the settings. Looking forward to your valuable inputs and guidance.

Dear,

If you have ind/coll requirement is 1 why are you using QA? All subassembly goes by sales order account assignment?

Hello Rajesh

I shall explain the entire scenario to you, the FG X(helmet) is there under which we are having two sub assly and raw materials, X1(shell) & X2(harness) are two sub assly & X3 & X4 are raw materials for FG X(helmet). The scenario is as that sub assly X1(shell) is procured before sales order arrival & sub assly X2(harness) cant be procured before sales order arrival because sub assly X2(harness) depends upon the customer's requirement as in its BOM structure is as per the customer requirement, so I am having alternate BOM for X(helmet) as per the change in BOM structure of X2(harness), hence i am having alternatives for FG X(helmet). I am using different production versions as per the alternative BOM of FG X(helmet).

The above two sub assly X1(shell) & X2(harness) are procured from plant 1200 & 1500 as per the quota arrangement. The FG X(helmet) is planned in plant 1400 & the procurement of X1(shell) & X2(harness) is done from plants 1200 & 1500 as per the quota arrangement.

I have maintained individual/collecitive indicator 1 in MRP4 view of X2(harness) for every plant i.e. for 1200, 1400 & 1500. I have maintained individual/collective indicator 2 in MRP4 view of X1(shell) which i need to procure before sales order arrival of FG X(helmet).

The collective/individual indicator is not behaving as it is supposed to behave in case of quota arrangement. After PIR creation for FG X(helmet) & its MRP run planned order are created for X1(shell) & X2(harness) of type LA. Since collective/individual indicator for X2(harness) is set to 1 in MRP 4 view hence its planned order type shall be of type VP(non convertible) but it is not so. This is where am stuck up Rajesh. Looking forward to your valualbe inputs & guidance.
