MRP with firm plan orders scenario.

[pravin_kusumbe2]

Dear all,

we are in process of MRP implementation.

where client having every month a plan of Three months in which first month plan is fixed whereas two months are tentative.

to achieve this we have used Planning time fence of 38 days as we run MRP on 22 of every month.

On next month we have to inactivate first plan and create anew plan ,I wanted to MRP Run for new plan with last firm orders. But is found that

when we run MRP,the plan qty of 22 to 30 date has been reducing Plan qty of next month.whereas we want 22 to 30 qty(e.g. say 100 Nos)should be as it is and also suppose next months Plan is 500 qty then it should have to create plan orders for next month as qty 500.and not as 400 Nos

Planning strategy is 11 as gross planning and PIR consumption at the time of Goods reciept.

Pravin:

as per my understanding, regardless of the firm planned orders , the problem is that some sales orders of the current month are reducing PIR from next month ? are you cleaning demand mgmt with MD74, MD75 etc ?

Is there any kind of "residual" PIR from the current month ?

How is the material configured in MRP3 view, backward/forward and days ??

Dario,

Give u the details.

Material is with statergy - 11 ( with mixed MRP indicator )

Material is not configurable .

consumption mode is Backward forward with 38 days.

we are not using any sales order generate the requirement.

we are not cleaning the PIR also because every month we create new Requirment plan by deactivating the old one.

I Guess You have understood the scenario.

Regards.
