Hi,

When a Customer Order (CO) header is blocked and the CO line inventory part is supplied through Purchase Order Transit (Purch Order Trans) from an external supplier, the demand is not considered in Inventory Part Availability Planning, (Not in MRP) even when Release for Material Planning is enabled.

Is this the intended behavior in IFS?

We have observed that the same blocked customer order demand is considered by planning when the supply code is set to Inventory Order, but not when the supply code is Purch Order Trans. Could you please clarify whether this is expected system behavior? 

Note: Customer Order block reason is having Exclude from Mtrl Planning as False in all above scenarios.

Thanks!

    Hi ​@Lakshan Thiranagama  I tested in a CORE 24R2 environment.

     

    A customer order was created with 1 line for Supply Code PurchOrderTrans and another line for Supply Code InventOrder.  The order is still in the ‘Planned’ status.

     

    Both lines show ‘Yes’ for Release for Mtrl Planning.

     

    IPAP for Part TEST.WWW (PurchOrderTrans) - Customer Order P14516 is not showing.

     

    IPAP for Part 58-591 (InventOrder) - Customer Order P14516 is showing.

     

    Release the Customer Order.  The order is Blocked.  Release for Mtrl Planing still shows ‘Yes’.

     

    Release the order from Blocked to Released.  Release for Mtrl Planing still shows ‘Yes’.

     

    Now that the customer order has been released, you see the Demand and Supply for Customer Order P14516 for the part with Supply Code PurchOrderTrans.

     

    If this is the same results you’re seeing and if you don’t feel this is the correct results, please create a support case and reference this community post and then we can further investigate this. 

     

    Please advise if you have any questions.  Thanks!  Jane
