Query on MRP to consider vendor holidays

[former_member323340]

Dear All,

In my industry MRP creates the purchase requisition for the raw material. These materials are procured from different vendors. The vendor has some holidays during the upcoming christmas and we would like MRP to take these holidays into account and propose the "Release Date" of the MRP Purchase requisitions. How should it be made possible.

For eg. a PR for material A has a planned date = 02.01.2012, GR processing time of this material is 5 days. Hence Delivery date of PR = 27.12.2011. Planned delivery date of the item is 5 days, hence the release date of the PR is 19.11.2011. This is the current setup. However the vendor which supplies this material is closed from 20.11.2011 to 23.11.2011. Hence we want MRP to consider this 3 days holiday and propose the release date of PR as 16.11.2011. Can anyone let me know how this could be made possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I have tried using planning calendar.However i could see that on using a planning calendar only the planning date and/or the delivery date falls as per the interval in the planning calendar but not the release date Also i could see that the planning calendar is usefull for grouping our requirements (using suitable lot size), and fixing the delvery date as, as per the planning calendar, but not the release date....Hence i believe planning calendar cannot be of use for my above requirement.

regards

Hi

Yes I checked this. Here it is allowing to mention a date range for example 25.02.2012 to 30.02.2012 which means the vendior is available for sending the material only on the above date. My requirement is i have a vendor who is available for all the dates expect for the above dates. So confused how i can use this.

Try using a planning calendar definition.
