hi! I’m afraid that in APP10 IFS’s MRP has support for alternate component replacement, but with the limitations that the main component is always prioritized and open supplies for the alternates are not considered at all. The system will always plan for the main I’m afraid. You can ask MRP to use existing stock of Alternate B if available, but if new stock is needed it will always be part A A very manual workaround is filter requisitions for part A, cancel them, change shop orders to part B and re-run MRP This functionality has been included in 24R1 though, some of the improvements around this functionality are: ●When setting up an alternate component, it needs to be possible to define which structure types it is valid for ●Possibility to define the priority order for netting of supplies in MRP (main or alternate component first) ●Include also open supplies (e.g. existing purchase orders) of alternate components when alternate parts are included in MRP calculation ●Restrict r
Since the multilevel repair shop order is not connected to a DOP order (and it cannot be), the material line cannot be DOP supplied either. I don’t really see any other way than manually creating the shop order to supply the material line, and if required manually peg it to the material line. Thank you for your reply, Björn ! I was able to do both (manually pegging the shop order to the repair order leads to a workflow that is similar to the DOP process, which is nice for us !)I was hoping (still am, to a degree) to avoid manually creating shop orders, but at least I now know how to make it work that way if all else fails !
