Planning strategy 40

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am testing planning strategy 40 and here is the scenario

Avl Stock 200 GAL

PIR: 300 GAL

Sales Order: 600 GAL

When I ran the MRP the system proposed a planned order for 400 GAL and the entire PIR gets consumed by the sales order. I am trying to understand how it came up with the planned order qty and I was expecting a higher qty. The 400 will meet only the sales order req along with the existing stock so how about the PIR requirement?

Thanks

Your PIR was consumed by the sales order, the system then produced versus your sales order minus the On hand. If the Sales order was additional to the PIR of the month a increment had to be done so that the production order was for the PIR.

Hi Sachin

System is behaving correctly.

In Planning Strategy 40 Sale Order will consume the PIR.

If Sale order does not exists

System will through Planned order as 100 GAL (Stock 200 - PIR 300 = Pld Ord 100)

If Sale Order exists

System will through Planned Order as 400 GAL ((600-300 = 300) + (300 -200 = 100)

Sale Ord (600) - PIR (300) = 300

PIR (300) - Stock (200) = 100

Total Planned order will be 400 (300+100 = 400)

Please check and update.

Hello

This is the correct system behavior for planning strategy 40.

The PIR quantity is used to plan your material in advance, that means, to plan when there is no sales order. When a sales order is created, it consumes the PIR, that means, it replaces the PIR.

MRP will generate a planned order of 400 because this is the sales order quantity minus the stock.

Thanks Caetano. But what if we want the system to consider the forecast (PIR) also as this may be required to cover any of  the future sales orders?

Thanks

Hi Sachin

Sales orders that are outside the consumption horizon will not consume the forecast. Maybe you can define your consumption periods on the material master (tab MRP3) in order to have only sales orders in the future consuming PIRs, so that these sales orders in the past do not consume PIRs.
