I recently filed a case for this issue. A customer is planning on using MS Level 1 for purchase items as it provides us with the capability of aggregating the . The MS level 1 forecast is imported from a plan customer schedule. The customer’s operations are such that they do direct shipment to the end customer from the supplier. The customer will process a call-off customer schedule that creates customer orders. When the customer orders are released, purchase requisitions pegged to the customer order are created.
The MS recalculation for the MS part is then run. If we do an Inventory Part Availability Planning (IPAP) display, both the purchase requisitions from the customer order AND the planned MS Supply entries are shown, That leads to an incorrect projected quantity available on the display. KR does not intend to create replenishments from the master schedule.
Bill Leedale stated to me: "If you did a “call-off” then when supply is generated, it is supposed to change the status of the MS Receipt to “Supply Generated”. I think where this may be breaking down is you are creating pegged orders? Or because you have no time fences so it is just creating extra supply outside the PTF? Either way the MS Supply is not getting updated to “generated” " .
I’d appreciate some insight from anyone as to how to use MS AND Primary Supplier Direct sales parts.
Thanks!
