MRP Planning Calculation for Engineering Spares

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We have define Reorder Point 10000 qty ,MRP type is VB and Lot size is EX for X item. no other setup define in master for this item but here we have some confusion for this calculation pl. see following example and give your guidance.

Material X

Reorder Point 10000

Stock 100

Reservation created 1000 (not posted)

When I run MRP following result have displyed.

Stock Available 100, Reservation 1000, Purchase Requisition created for 9900 , And Quantity Available 9000

Why reservation not considered in MRP? means why requisition not generated for 9000 instead of 9900 ?

Pl. guid me

Thanks & Regards

Hi Piyush,

Discussing MRP functionality in depth is out of scope for such a forum; in short:

In your example the 1000 reservation is not taken into account by planning because that's how VB works. It only considers stock, nothing else.

If you do want additional requirements to be considered, use V1.

Hi Mario

Thanks for reply . But can u tell me what is the usage of V1.

V1 is like VB, but will include external requirements in the planning calculation of how much should be ordered. As I said, VB will consider only stocks.
