Pld Order every 8 Months

[Former Member]

Hi - I have a material that I need to purchase every 8 months at a fixed Qty - We purchase 200 every 8 months and may only use 500 within this period - is there a way that the system will generated a planned order for me every 8 months regardless of the fact that there is sufficient qty on hand and little demand? thank you

1. Consider using Time-phased planning with appropriate planning cycle (Maintain MRP Type as Time-phased planning with requirement, Configure Planning cycle in a way that planning should take place every 8 months)

2.Create demand using MD61 for every 8 months

3. If you don't want to consider existing stock, use strategy 11(Gross requirement planning) in MRP 3 view.

Please consider using MRP - see the SAP Help https://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/b8/98b6535fe6b74ce10000000a174cb4/content.htm?no_c...
