Hi experts,
We are running ECC 6.0.
In one of our plants, we have a lot of components that are available as QI stock in Material Provided to Vendor status.
We build SKUs (MRP type M3) at the top level in the BOM, and the SKUs use the above components. We mostly enter demand at the SKU level in the plant (LSF).
We have set up the source list for all the SKUs in this plant with MRP = 1.
When MRP runs for the components (MRP type PD), system is able to first allocate the QI stock to any of the requirements that are driven by the higher level SKUs. Only then, it creates Planned Orders for the components to account for the shortage.
Issue : We now enter forecast (LSF) directly at the Component level (for some Materials). Now, even though we have excess
component stock to handle all the demand (dependant demand driven from the SKUs + LSF at the Component level), system doesn't allocate the excess QI stock to the LSF demand at the component level. It just creates Planned orders.
Strategy Group for both the SKU and Component is 10. We don't have MRP Areas implemented.
I tried setting up the source list at the Component level using the vendor but there is no use.
Does any one have an idea on how this can be addressed?We want to be able to use up the QI stock first before we create Planned orders.
Thanks,
Rao
