We are starting to look at alternate components and I am wondering how IFS handles demand for alternates that are not planned by MRP, but by Order Proposal. Our alternates are currently set a Planning Method B. Do they need to be set to a planning method that uses MRP? 

 

Also, if we run PRMP and select the box that will run MRP immediately after, will that plan for alternate components?

 

We are in Apps 9, UPD17.

Hello,

Alternates are not taken into account when running IPR and reorder proposal. The only way scheduling alternates is when you have some defined at the product structure level and via the MRP. You could vote for that idea if you have access to.
