Hello,

We are using the order proposal function. We have inventory parts with planning method B. 

 

When we have a Inventory part where phurchase lead time is for example 7. Stock reaches order point and the proposal creates a new requisition, transfer it to an order and the supplier confirms.

If the supplier, this time, can’t promise deliveriy whitin 7 days and confirms 10 days. We can not set planned delivery date on our order line. If we do so, the order proposal creates a new requisition because it thinks we can get a delivery whitin 7 days and we will risk to order more quantity than we need.

How are we supposed to work in this scenario. We don’t want to change the lead time for the inventory part, because it more likely will be 7 days next time we order. 

 

Please help us think.. :)

Hi

There is probably a demand for the, e g maint material requisition, with a required date earlier than the planned delivery in 10 days. There are to options to solve this:

  1. Update the required date on the demand so the planned delivery will solve the demand.
  2. Meet the the required date on the demand by securing a planned delivery before the required date on the demand.

Hi Robert,

 

Thank you.

What if the demand is from our order point? 

The demand has what I see no exactly date. It is asap according to inventory parts lead time. The only way to meet the required date then is to change the lead time on the inventory part?

 

Regards,

Johan
