Subcontracting - Direct delivery with MRP and Scheduling agreements

144 Views

Hi All,

can anyone suggest where I am going wrong.

I have a sub con assembly A that is made up from parts B and C.

The source of supply is:

A by VENDA

B by VENDB

C by VENDC

I do not want part B arriving on site as it is situated next door to the sub con plant. (however I might want to stock it for spare purposes later)

So I would like to send Part B directly to VENDA

I have set up a scheduling agreement for part B for VENDB and I have changed the delivery tab to VENDA and ticked the SC vendor option.

My problem is that when I run MRP I get a planned order for Part B and not a schedule line. If I remove the tick then I do indeed get a schedule line.

I have read a few posts that indicate that this can only be done via MRP areas (which we dont have).....is this really true??

Kind regards

Ben
