MRP - Consumption with outbound deliveries

[Former Member]

Hi,

In our production system, after MRP is executed, the requirements are consumed by sales orders.

Does anyone know if the requiremente can be consumed by outbound deliveries ?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

The requirements are from the sales orders created. The required qty is reduced after executing the outbound delivery.

You can verify using MD04. Required qty is reduced after posting of outbound delivery.

Thank you for yor response.

In fact, my question is if the requirements can be covered by the outbound deliveries.

Thank you very much.

The answer is no. Because the outbound delivery is the realization of the sales order qty. Meaning the sales order or requirement of your customer has been served already by creating the delivery document. The delivery does not cover the requirements, as other requirements are not relevant to the outbound deliveries created. The outbound delivery only answers to the qty required in a specific SO.

Not sure if I really understand your question. But I would suggest that you test by creating the sales order and delivery, then check the effect of each transaction in MD04.
