Hi all,

 

If you have customer order linked to a shop order and driving demand by issuing purchase requisitions, is it possible to toggle a setting to stop the demand without unpegging the SO?

 

We basically want to not drive demand for a particular CO, but be able to turn on the demand when needed. 

 

Thank you!

@Dave67 Even though the COs and SOs are in Planned status, the MRP consider those for demand calculations. To avoid this, there are two options.

  1. Disregard the demand for Shop Order from Customer Orders - Unselect “Release for Mtrl Planning” check box in customer order line. So that the MRP disregard the relevant part (for the CO Line) in the calculations.
  2. Disregard the demand for component parts in Shop Orders - Change the status of the SS to Park and uncheck the “Include as Demand” check box in Details tab of the Shop Order. This value can not be directly changed, it is connected to the Park Reason. Manufacturing\Shop Order\Shop Order Basic Data, Park Reasons tab. Set the check box “Include Material Requirements as Demand” accordingly. In such cases (Include Material Requirements as Demand = Not checked) Component Part demand is not considered.

Hope this helps !
