Avoid double demand in Project Deliverables for Long Lead Time parts

Question

We are using Project Deliverables for a customer and in the created structure in Project Deliverables in a first stage, we want to add a purchase plan for components with a long lead time to have them ordered in an earlu stage of the project.

In a second phase the complete BOM is been created and pieces are copied from PDM to have it built. In that complete structure with a “top part” that has a shop order plan and an underlying structure with supply option “PMRP” we have those long lead time components again because they are also part of the structure. Although we would like to choose the supply option in such a way that IFS would recognize that they were already ordered with the purchase plan and no new demand from project deliverables is been created.

Does anyone has an idea whether this is possible and how to manage this?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kurt

Hi everybody,

This scenario can be common in very wide area of industries where Make to Order is applied and we are dependent on the purchase parts that are crucial due to SCM tubulences.

I am surprised for no reaction till this moment.

Just thinking loudly:

Is it possible to use Master Scheduling functionality (should be setup with the Project Id connection) or are we able to stay on the level of Project Deliverables and avoid somehow the duplicated demands for parts ordered ahead (the manual removal of the lines with these parts is not applicable solution for me)?

With kind regards,
