Hi,
During an investigation, I came across a scenario where a Customer Order was created for a Phantom Part, and a Shop Order was also manually created for the same Phantom Part. Both orders were connected to a Project. After executing PMRP, I noticed that an MRP Action Proposal was generated with the message "Need Orders".
What I find confusing is that the manually created Shop Order has a finish date earlier than the Customer Order need date, meaning it should be able to satisfy the demand. However, the MRP Action Proposal still indicates "Need Orders".
Is this because the supply from the Phantom Part Shop Order itself is not considered by PMRP/MRP? I can see that supply has been generated for the component parts beneath the Phantom Part structure, which suggests that the Phantom Part is being exploded and planned at the component level.
My question is: Why does the MRP Action Proposal display the message "Need Orders" even though there is a Shop Order for the Phantom Part that appears capable of meeting the Customer Order demand? Is this expected behavior because Phantom Part supplies are not recognized as valid supply by PMRP, or is there another reason for this result?
