Hi Community,

I was wondering if anyone had any clever thoughts on how to somehow “link” Inventory Parts that are moulded in a family tool and always need to be ordered together even when part quantities become misaligned and MRP suggests ordering one before the other.

Interested to hear any of your thoughts :)

Cheers,

Wade

@ConMan Can you provide more info on the business requirement, for an example what these parts are used for etc?

If this is related to Asset Management, there is the Spare Part List. 

Hope this helps !

Hi Buddhika,

In this example, we have two moulded plastic parts that we purchase. They are moulded in the same tool, hence the term family tool.

Inevitably, inventory quantity over time will become misaligned and MRP will ask for one part to be ordered before the other.

What I am looking for is a systematic way to ensure when one part needs to be ordered the other is not forgotten.

Cheers,

Wade


Hi Buddhika 

 

We have exactly the same issue here with plastic moulded parts  that we are trying to find a solution for.  I was wondering if you managed to solve your issue or come up with a good work around? 

 

thanks
