Hi all, I need some advice from you guys. We are implementing Navision 3.6. The customer has 3 companies : 2 in Canada ( LTD and INCCA) and 1 in US.( INCUS) Requirements: 1) Purchasing is centralised at LTD 2) Selling is decentralised (at INCCA, INCUS,LTD) 3) Production is done at just INCCA, LTD 4) Inventory is kept at LTD and INCCA. 5) Inventory from INCCUS will coming from LTD To meet all those requirements we have 2 ways of doing the job: Sln A: If we have in Navision 2 companies: One Us and another one Canada with 2 responsabilities centers ( INCCA and LTD) [b]Question : IS IT POSSIBLE TO RUN MRP BY RESPONSABILITY CENTER???[/b Sln B: If we have in Navision 3 companies: INCCA, INCUS, LTD Question : IS IT POSSIBLE TO RUN MRP WITH PURCHASING CENTRALISED AT LTD??? Thanks. RF
Hi Rosine Well I would suggest intially you post this request in the developers forum as well as some ideas may come from there. In short: LTD: BUY - SELL - MFG - INV CAN: SELL - MFG - INV US: SELL I have not done any work with the BizTalk server but you may want to look into this as it handles intercompany transactions - which would certainly assist in the transafer of inventory from LTD to US and handle the financial implicaitons. It may also have further options concerning MRP, but I doubt it and honestly do not know! Further to this it is probable that MRP could be modified, I believe the tables are flagged as company specific, but it could be flagged as global, and if you then wrote the transactions to a copy of the MRP table and added a company deliminator on the field it maybe possible to run MRP as a whole. I believe this can be done on global address fields but obviously the complications heighten when you have the complexities of MRP involved. Anyway good luck and I hope this helps a little! [;)]
Oh as an addendum I do not see how the responsibility centre flag would assist you across the multi companies, because purchasing would still be handled by LTD for the Canadian company so you would require transactions to pass between these two companies, or am I missing something?
Responsibility Centers, Locations and Resources are indeed things which are not included in standard Attain Mnf, if I am correct.
