Remote Warehouse demand

Hello, 

Currently, we are using a remote warehouse for offsite storage of some of our sub assemblies. The issue we are facing is that from IPAP we do not have visibility into what is in our main warehouse vs. what is at our offsite storage. This becomes problematic because we may attempt to run a Shop Order, but not have the actual supply needed. 

I have attempted to use Availability Controls, but while setting the location to nonnet, the parts now show correctly in IPAP (what is on hand vs. available to use) but MRP attempts to drive demand to make more of the sub components. When in actuality, we just need to move them from our remote warehouse to our main facility. 

I am curious if there is a solution in IFS that will allow us to see the “unavailable” qty from IPAP, but not drive MRP demand unless our actual on hand is triggered based on planning parameters? Thank you!
