Exclusion of Quantity in PipeLine and some Batch Stock from the scope of MRP Process

[former_member199650]

Hi,

Request you to please guide whether we can exclude the Material Quantity in Pipeline which is yet to be received against any Purchase Order raised to any vendor for Procurement from the scope of MRP.

Also request you to please guide whether we can exclude some Batch Stocks from the scope of MRP Process.

We are using VB as MRP Type.

Please guide.

Thanks and Regards

Why do you use MRP type VB for your pipeline material. Usually pipeline material is always available as it has no stock, you just turn the tab and the material is flowing. You do not even do a receipt against a PO, you just consume and settle.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply please.

But we do goods receipt of the quantities which are supposed to be received against any Material Purchase Order.

E.g. PO No. 1234 has 50 Quantities to be purchased.

20 have already been received and 30 are yet to be received, so at this point in time Stock goes below Re-Order level, then system considers those 30 quantities to be subtracted from the Maximum Stock level (MRP Consideration is to replenish the stock to Maximum Level).

So what we can do to avoid these 30 quantities from getting considered in MRP process.

Thanks and Best Regards

This has not much to do with Pipeline process

Please suggest.

PIPEline material is very specific, some functions are even hard coded.

There might be ways for normal materials, but you are using a pipeline materials wrong, so I doubt that there are many people around who also use the pipeline material like you do and could share their experience. Looks like you have to try it with normal material and then you would need to share a bit more information about your MRP settings and the stock situation

I have seen that Storage Location can be used to avoid any stock to get considered in the MRP Process. But for the first query related to Quantity in Pipeline please reply. Thanks
