Hi All,
I would like to request some clarification regarding the behaviour of MRP in this context.
As I understand it, MRP does not generate pegged supplies by default. It evaluates demand, and if there is no available stock, IFS creates supply orders that are not pegged to specific demands.
Now, let’s consider a scenario where I manually create pegged orders by modifying the supply code (e.g., to Purch Order Trans) at the customer order line level. When the customer order is released, a pegged purchase requisition (PR) is generated as expected. However, after converting this PR into a purchase order (PO) and changing the delivery date, I anticipated that MRP would recognize this adjustment—identifying the order as either early or late in relation to the demand.
It appears, however, that when supplies are pegged using supply codes, MRP does not detect these orders in the same way. As a result, it does not flag them as early or late orders during its planning run.
Could someone confirm whether this understanding is correct, or if there is another explanation behind this behavior?
My customer prefers to use pegged suppliers, but it seems that planners would need to manage these pegged orders separately—likely using the Inventory Part Availability Planning screen—rather than relying on MRP action proposals.
Appreciate any insights or confirmation on this matter.
Thanks,
Chamath
