Lot size in MTO

[Subh]

Hi Experts,

I am using strategy 20, my FG batch size is 100 and i have a sale order of 120. I want the system to create 2 planned orders of 100 and 20. I tried with lot size EX and maximum lot size 20, but system made a single planned order of 120. Have i made any mistake, how can i address my requirement ? Please advise.

Best regards

SM,

By definition, your lot size is in MTO is "the size of the sales order requirement". MRP will not split MTO planned orders into quantities that do not match the Sales order schedules; this would not be MTO. I suppose you could manually convert the 120 pc planned order into a 100 pc production order, and then re-run MRP and you would get a new planned order for the balance of 20.

If your batching process requires 100 pc orders, you should consider a MTS strategy.

Dear ,

In MTO process , sales order qty can't not be spillited beacause , MRP system will not generate planned order detail scheduling to match the Schedule Delivery Date in Sales Order line item .

If you maintain lot size as EX and max lot size is 100 for the quantity of 120,system will create total 2 planned orders.Out of 2 numbers 1 will be with qty 100 and second one will be 20.In OMI4 open the details screen of the lot size which u are using

in the details screen there is a indicator LAST LOT EXACT now if u tick this indicator then the system will create the last lot exact

Basically , your requirement can be done through MTS which will possible .

Hope it is clear
