MRP with respect to batch specifications

Former Member

Dear All,

The scenario is;

We have a raw material for e.g. "C" which is in the BOM's of finished goods for e.g. "A" and "B". "C" has batches C1 & C2 with different specifications. For e.g. batch spec's of "C1" are more suitable to produce "A" and batch specs of "C2" are more suitable to produce "B". We are using the classification functionality for batch determination to assign requisite batch to appropriate process order. For e.g, "C1" will be assigned to process order for "A" and "C2" for process order of "B".

Now with the classification functionality can MRP plan for the raw material "C" at the batch specification levels like C1 & C2?.

If yes then would you be kind enough to explain in details the settings for the same?.

Please let me know the same at your earliest.

Thanking in advance.

Best regards,

Hanish

Hi,

As per my understanding regarding the your requirement, You want to Procure material based on certain characteristic value,

which u maintian in the Classification of your material & you want MRP to consider the Characteristic value of that material & generate a PR

Do reply back if this is your requirement

Dear Pranay,

Thanking you for your response.

Yes U r correct. But the problem here is when the raw material C is recieved it has the the same specifications or the required characteristics.

When it is used in product A it goes through some quality tests. But when we try to use it in product B we need to do some more additional testing to qualify for its use in B. In short there are some more characteristics which need to be tested so that it can be used in B. So how can MRP plan for the same component material for two different products but with different inspections plans?

We can use the classification view by assigning the characterstics & values so that this component C with additional testing can be assigned to the process order of B by using batch management. But can MRP do the planning based on this additional testing requirements?

Best regards,

Hi

Can u please explain selection of C1 or C2 is manual selection or some fixed parameters are there? If it is manual selection then MRP can't help you.

Hello Krishna,

Thanks for U r prompt response.

Since we are using classification & batch determination functionality, batches with appropriate specifications are automatically selected for respective orders. (If we wanted manual selection then there is no need to use the classification functionality & batch determination functionality)

I hope I have been clear enough.
