Question

REPLENISH STOCK WITH DIFFERENT PART

ok forgive my naivety, but I need to know if something is possible. We would like to set up a safety stock system on Part A, which would trigger the production of Family B (Different Part Number), which creates 12 different parts, including Part A. When we run Family B, we use the Alternate parts transaction to put the parts into stock. Is there a way for Part A to trigger Family B?

We are ok with alternate parts and setting safety stock levels, its just the demand calling for another part number.

thanks in advance.

Is there a reason you would not plan for B (safety stock or MS) and have A demand driven by MRP?

Hi Christy,

We are trying to have an electronic Kanban system pulled from our assembly building. This triggers the Electronic Kanban in the Market place, automatically raising orders for sheet metal. the Part A and Family B are at the raw material end of the process.
