Purchase two materials simultaneously

[former_member564417]

Greetings,

we have two materials that are used in production together. When one is used so is the other. These two materials are purchased externally.

Is there any way to link these two materials in such a way that MRP generates a purchase requisition for a fixed quantity of the required material (material 1) as well a purchase requisition for the second item?

The requirement is such that when a purchase requisition is made for one material it should also be created for the other.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Matjaž.

Hi mmoser1

As per requirement you can do enhancement in Purchase order and validate both materials are mention in PO with same procurement quantity or not if both materials procure from same vendor or else validate while creating A material PO B material open PO for same quantity available in system and vise varsa.

If issue get resolved with provided answer please accept the same and close the thread. As it is still shown as open.

Dear Rupesh,

we thought about that yes. Seems to be the only option. We will link materials using classification. Each material will have its "twin" written as a value of a class characteristic then in purchase order we will check if material in purchase order item has a twin material and add it as a second item of purchase order.

Thank you for your contribution.

Best regards,

Matjaž.
