I want to use the consolidated pricing functionality for different parts, not the same part. If a supplier offers a discount at 1000 pieces, and they don’t care what part number I order, I’d like to take advantage of that from the system:For example, let’s say the 250 price for each part is $1, and the 1000 piece price is 0.50. When I enter the order, the total value will be $1000, and after I use the consolidated pricing functionality, it will be $500. Blue Widget x 250 White Widget X 250Red Widget X 250Green Widget X 250
We are on version 10, and I use IEE.
Has any headway been made on correcting this issue? I would use it with direct delivery orders if it worked.
Interesting approach with the financial project. I'm more concerned with inventory management than finance, but I'll pass this idea along to the right people.
We’re using the system a little off book. Although we are using MRP, our safety stocks are typically order points (safety stock + demand over lead time) because we don’t have much of a forecast and don’t use MPS. We prefer MRP so we can see ahead when there is something to see. Most of our purchase orders are created when inventory is below the IFS safety stock value since there isn’t much to see in the future. We are working on implementing DP which may help, but that is probably still several months off.
Thanks for the explanation. Do you know of any way to force it to just use the calculated due date regardless of when the system thinks we need product?
We have lead times, inspection lead times in SFPP, but we don’t use ship via and external transport time in Supply Chain Matrix. We’d like to be able to use Auto PO Processing, but one of our concerns is that the PO will go out to our suppliers with due dates shorter than lead time. Purchase reqs currently will sometimes calculate due dates that are shorter than lead time. We are using MRP, but we aren’t using a forecast or a fully loaded MPS. This means we are often ordering when inventory is below safety stock. It gets a little confusing here. Sometimes, the planned receipt date is today and sometimes, it’s correct, and sometimes, it’s early, but not today. We haven’t been able to figure out what it’s doing. Instead of warning me, I’d like it to use the calculated due date.
