A Shop Order is created for 10 pcs for top part A which needs 10 pcs of part B as a component.
Part A is set with component Lot Rule as one lot allowed.

Currently the part B is in stock in two lot batches.
- a. Lot 1 – 6 pcs
- b. Lot 2 – 5 pcs

Quantity required of Component Part B is 10 pcs, quantity available is 11 pcs but it cannot be used due to the component lot rules; no Single lot batch is available to fulfil the full qty of 10 pcs.
System will give the below error if tried to reserve manually.

But MRP will not create any supply requisitions in this situation MRP consider only the quantity! but what is on hand cannot be fulfil the requirement - Error!

Suggestion:

-Introduce MRP Action Message/s to notify similar situations by highlighting the non availability of single lot batch no. to fulfil demand.

Hi,

As you perhaps know, MRP does the netting per part and per day. And not per part, day and order.

So in the general case - the gross requirement of 10 for the specific day could come from 10 different demand order lines, 1 each.

What I wanted to say is... it is not that easy to fine-tune MRP engine in every aspect. We also have the overall performance to consider as well.
