Advance material planning for projects

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We have a scenario for fabrication industry. Where client want to plan material procurement in advance for manufacture FG. But BOM of FG will come in later stage when design phase get finished in phases. Initial for cost planning and material procurement planning, they are finding out requirement of material quantities and costing happened on it. This material is planned for procurement, while the BOM will prepared in later design stage. FG are assigned to project activities, and project MRP will give planned orders. these material bom will rolled cost to activities, cost will get doubled and material too. How to handle this scenario, Any standard solution.

You can use BOM transfer to transfer a preliminary BOM to create "Preliminary Requirements"  Then when you have a finished BOM you transfer it to create final requirements which consume the preliminary requirements.  You can also create preliminary requirements without the BOM transfer.

hi,

You can create preliminary purchase requisition from project. Later when you assign FG and run MRP, it will consider this PR/Stock PR

Hi Shrikant,

The advance procurement material list should be prepared and then it should be attached in initial stage to project.

Header(X)
	Line item 1
	Line item 2

This advance procurement BOM should be attached such that

the header(X) will become text item after attachment and

for the line items the Preq will be generated.

For this line item should be make to stock procurement type

and this should behave as dependent and independent requirement

and there will be no duplicacy of the requirements.

You need to dicuss this with PP consultant.
