MRP run with stock transport orders: dates calculation

Former Member

Hi Gurus,

My situation is as follows:

Plant A: only trading goods.

Materials are supplied from another plant B (same company code) through stock transport orders. Then plant B is the supplying plant of plant A, and I made the stock transport configuration to allow this.

Plant A:

MRP run on 16/12: stock quantity is below the safety stock -> new requirement : Automatic PR creation with plant B as supplying plant.

MD04: receipt date is D date + delivery date

In my example: 16/12 + 1 = 17/12

Plant B:

A PRqRel is visible in MD04 accordingly to the PR.

No stock available in plant B to cover this PR.

MRP run on plant B on 16/12: an automatic PR is created (which will be converted to a standard PO).

MD04: receipt date is D date + delivery date

In my example: 16/12 + 3 = 19/12

My question:

I would assume to receive a new date for this material in plant A because my material will only be available on 20/12 (19/12+1).

I run MRP on plant A again, and nothing change: still have the receipt date : 17/12.

I would have expected to get 20/12 as rescheduling date or any information to inform plant A of this new date.

Is it possible? Did I miss something in my settings to support this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello

MRP does not carry out an availability check on the supplying plant, it simply creates the requirement.

Therefore, the date on the delivery plant is not changed if there is not enough material on stock.

Hello Caetano,

Thank you for your reply.

Is there any list or report, or any tools for the planner to be informed about this kind of delay?

C,

MD06 is a collective display of messages from the MRP runs.

You can set MD06 to highlight only the messages that interest you.  In your case, you will probably want to see certain messages in the supplying plant.  These messages will probably include '10 Bring process forward'.

See

Best Regards,
