We are looking to start using Order Proposals for some of our inventory items.

Set-up is:

Planning Method B

Order Point 100

Lot Size 25

 

There is 0 Qty on Hand as this is a new part.(with no demand coming from any work order, etc..)

Create Order Proposal job is initiated.

A Purchase requisition is created with 100 being recommended to purchase. This is then crated into Purchase order, received into inventory, and then closed.

All works as expected to this point.

 

Now we relieve some inventory, either by Count, or by material requisition. 

The Qty on Hand is now below 100, and actually we’ve taken it to 0.

 

We expect the Order Proposal to create another purchase Requisition...but it does not. It will only create one if we change the Order point to 101 or higher. Ex. - we changed it to 2,000, only to have the Requisition call for 1,900.

 

Can someone explain what we’re missing either in set-up, or understanding of how this process works?

Hi @nkiphuth , please check the attached application help document about Order Proposal functionality. Please check whether you have all the data setup needed. Thanks.

Does the Inventory Part Availability Planning screen show any useful info for the part? What does it show as the stock there, and is the original PO with 100 quantity still visible there?
