Re: Can a plant generate a PR with reorder point - Act as receiving plant only

Hi Caetano,

I tried what you have advised me but I think something is wrong because I'm not getting what I'm expecting for the MRP.

Here's what we intend our MRP to happen;

1. I will run MD01 in plant A expecting to generate replenishment requirement which will be supplied by plant B.

Question: Should Plant A material has these parameters? (see picture Plant A Material and Plant A Material 2)

B. In MD04, the above parameters (in photos) would generate planned order as shown in the picture (see MDO4 plant A material)

C. For same material in Plant B, how should I define the MRP that will automatically generate Purchase Requisition to supply the requirement of Plant A? Plant B doesn’t need to buy for his own requirement as it has no requirement at all. Its role is to receive only what is in the PR (generated by plant B) then transfer immediately to plant A upon receipt by plant B.

My expectation is when I look at MD04 in plant B, I will see the planned order or replenishment requirement of Plant A at the same time Purchase Requisition or PO coming in Plant B. Is this possible?

I think bottomline is how should I define my materials in order to get the type of flow that I want.

I hope to receive your inputs on this.

Thanks.
