Limiting PIR reduction only on present year

[former_member328731]

Hi colleagues,

We are using planning strategy 70, and use planned independent requirement to plan consumption.

Every October we are putting plan for next year as a PIR. But what happens is that if we have bigger consumption in present year it reduces PIR in future year and record withdrawal. Could we somehow limit consumption on present year, but in a same time have PIRs for future year so we can start MRP for them?

Dear Harry,

Try only backward consumption with 30 days.

Hi Nitin,

It will not work because if we have goods issuing in January 10, and we put 30 days backward it will consume PIR from previous year.

Hi,

Dont you reorganize PIR every month?

No, we are doing it twice a year. Also if we make mistake and issue big quantity in January and cancel material document after, it will bring back PIR in previous year.

Because of this we need somehow to restrict consumption and reduction on particular year.

Dear Harry,

The only option you have is to use re-organization of PIR, adjust consumption based on consumption mode and period. All the requirements will not be met due to these limitations. You will have to do trade-off.

Thank you,

Do you have any idea how we can handle example with cancelation? Because reorganization will not help if we do not delete history, and we need it.

Dear Harry,

What do you mean by 'example with cancelation'?

Dear Nitin,

If we make mistake and issue big quantity in January (bigger than PIR) and cancel material document after, it will bring back PIR in previous year. We can't use re-organization to suppress such behavior.
