MRP generated with converted quantity

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I like to know, if there is a way when MRP generate a PR base on the order unit?

Example :

Material A UOM = PC

Material A supplied by a vendor which only sell per BOX (@BOX = 11 PC)

MRP : Lot = HB

SS = 37

Max = 48

When MRP run, it will create PR for 48 PC.

My problem is when PO created for 4 Box, then it leave a 4 PC short for the material..

Regards,

Hi

Check wheather you have entered any rounding profile or rounding value in the material master record MRP1 view.if yes system create a pr of the rounding profile ,ie ir round the quantity what you entered in the material master.

Hi,

So you mean, with the rounding profile, it can round off the MRP PR, and no more 4 PC short left.

Do you know how to set configuration at the rounding profile? pls let me know..

Hi

You have to set the rounding profile in the material master MRP view,

Hi,

I set it already..(statically rounding) but is it only applicable for 1 material only?

If there is another different rounding, so i need to create a new profile for every each material that has a different Order Unit?

Or you may have another answer for it

Thx in advance

Hi Beto 10,

Did you go thro' my message. It will give you clear idea. Please go thro below.

You can resolve the issue thro changing the order unit in your info record for the material.

You can also enter an order unit that differs from the base unit of measure stored in the material master record in a purchase requisition. You will find the order unit on the requisition item detail screen. When a requisition is converted into a PO, the Variable order unit field must set to active. Otherwise, the order unit in the requisition is overwritten by the order unit in the info record.

Hi Prabhaharan,

Yes, i already went thro with the info record. But my concern is that when i generate the MRP again, it still has 4 PC outstanding.

Or, maybe i lost some setting thro the Info record so there wouldnt be any outstanding stock from MRP.

MRP : Lot = HB

SS = 37

Max = 48

When MRP run, it will create PR for 48 PC.

My problem is when PO created for 4 Box (4 B0x = 44 PC), then it leave a 4 PC short for the material..

Thx in advance

HI

Check Wheather you have entered any conversion value in the material master record ( additional data>alternative unit of measure)

do you need 48 or 44 PC ?

why dont you just enter HB = 44?

how is the PO created?

if manually, then the buyer should close the PR at the same time, instead of leaving the PR open with 4.

Hi Jurgen,

I need 48 PC, because the MRP shows 48 PC for the maximum stock.

But if the buyer close the PR, for next MRP it should still cover for the 4 PC is it right?

[JL23 · Accepted solution]

no the next MRP will not ask for the 4, because you are not below the reorder point then.

Hi Beto,

Your problem is because of your mrp max-48pcs and the vendor box-11pcs. Its not matching.

So, you create two info record with vendor specific.

One is for box purchase & another one is for PC purchase.

And you set your max according to your box purchase.

For ex: you said the vendor sell as box containing 11 pcs.

so you set your max in mrp multiple of 11. (44, 55, 66pcs)

Dear Beto,

If vendor only sell per BOX and a BOX has 11 PC, you would better to set Max either 44 or 55. It is not logical to set as 48 because it is not multiple of this vendor package.

Thanks,

Hi Gordon,

But sometimes we can buy from different vendor, which not sell in BOX

Do you have another solutions?
