1 million liter process order spanning several days

[kbirkner]

We frequently create process orders for 1 million liters of product, that is then made and filled over several days. Currently when the process order is created, the input requirements all fall on the process orders start date. However, we are making the 1 million liters of product over several days as we are filling. How can I see the input requirements spread out over those several days. IE 100,000 liters of product input requirements on day 1, then 100,000 liters of product input requirements on day 3, then 100,000 liters of product input requirements on day 5...etc.

Hello

You can add a distribution key for your material.

So I'm trying to use the distribution key, but believe I've come across another issue. I have a batch size of 113,500L, which I can make 13 of these batches over a period of time. Thus my recipe currently calls for the labor to make one 113,500L batch. But I've changed the charge qty from 113,500 to 1,475,500L so I can have my primary production version set the same. And MRP set with minimum qty of 113,500 and maximum qty of 1,475,500 with a rounding value of 113,500. I'm trying to create a process order for 1,475,500 which works, but doesn't have the correct amount of time allocated and doesn't truly reflect how the distribution key may work?
