Hi all,

We have supply for given parts which MRP has not merged into a single requisition. Despite the requirement being within a similar if not identical date. These parts also have an Order Cover Time of 30 days (& Planning Method set to G). 

We are currently using pMRP. Is the use of this, specifically separate Project ID’s, forcing the netting process to supply lot-for-lot?

For instance, we’ve got 3 finished goods to be made. Each loaded in a separate project. The gross requirements are the same. The independent demand (when Due) is the same. Yet the supply, in the form of various shop and purchase reqs are not merged. Why?

Any thoughts?

Yes, pMRP will not accumulate the demands as they are treated as separate and unique demands, even though they are the same part number.  The addition of the project activity moves the material to a point of lot-for-lot in most instances irrespective of the Planning Method.
