We have a purchase order for qty 40 of item A.
The quantity was received and it was deducted into the project as expected.
There is however marking still on the project transaction lines and there shows 40 on order to the project… MRP is seeing this demand and suggesting we purchase more however we do not need to.
How do we solve this issue?
Thanks
No takers? We are seeing this behavior on more orders now.
Start by looking at the net requirements of the item and seeing why your demand is not being negated - is the demand project driven?
The demand appears to be project driven. The Demand is coming from an Inventory Journal (net req), however there is no journal number.
When we look at transactions, two ‘On order’ lines match up with the inventory journals from net requirements, and the Project ID column has the project specified. The Reference type is Transaction, but again no journal/order number.
Now check if the pegging is to teh same lot id of teh transactions creating the demand that is matched.
The pegging showed inventory journal with no number, same as the net trans.
However, looking at the lots I see that the demand transactions refer to a lot, 205003.
This lot’s transactions show -30 sold to the project, and then -30 on order to the project.
The -30 sold to the project has a reference lot 205002, which is for a purchase order receipt of 30. This doesn’t seem to be appropriate to me…
Hold on, was looking at the wrong section for the pegging. The pegging shows against planned purchase orders.
If we delete these orders would the demand go away? Or will they come back each MRP run.
For this issue, deleting the planned purchase orders appears to only have them be re-generated each night for MRP.
Still not able to determine the root source of these inventory journals that are causing demand.
