Hi all
I am new on DUG - and have a couple questions that I cant find in here…
We have implemented NAV 5.0 in our company and use the planning function, but there are stuff which we do not understand fully - so if anyone knows it, please let me know!:
From sales order to Production order
When creating a production order from a sales order - it is the “shipment date” there are used for the date on the production order. But when shipping an order, “shipment date” is changed to the actual date (if delivered to early or to late) - the problem appears when shipping too much on a future order (which is normal to us - eg. delivering the 5 of 100 pcs 2 weeks to early) and then shipment date is changed 2 weeks - which the planning uses for changing the production orders with 2 weeks. - just because we had 5 on stock and shipped.
- can we change, so we use “planned shipment date” instead? this date always stay the same
From production order to purchase order
We dont understand why the delivery dates on the purchase orders relate to the “due date / ending date” on the production order - we get our raw material home to late. Is there some in the settings, where we change to use the start date on a production order?
Function for skipping production orders or purchases
Does anyone know if it is possible to make the planning enginge “skip” certain orders - it gives a lot of unnessecary work when having production orders there differs a little from the normal setup - eg. having a demand for 45 pcs, but we have 90 pcs of rawmaterial on stock, and the planner decides to produce it all at one and put 45 pcs of finished goods on stock - everytime we run the planning, there is a suggestion for cancelling 45 pcs. But we want the 90 and dont want to see the suggestion everytime we run the planning.
