Requisition Worksheet And Reservations

Jonathan2708

Hi,

We have a situation where the Requisition Worksheet --> Calculate Plan has been run to generate purchase orders for all the sales order demand. This has worked but for the fact that it has created reservations against every sales order line meaning there are lots of PO lines for each product item. We don't want reservations and just want one PO line for the total quantity required for each product item.

Can anybody point me where we have gone wrong - the 'Reserve' flag is set to Optional on all item cards and I can't see where I specifically asked for it to reserve.

Any help appreciated,

Jonathan

It's much more about reordering policies than reservations. Look at the Item Card. Your situation looks like having a reordering policy of order. That's means a direct 1:1 link between demand and supply. Try switching it to Lot for lot and setting a reorder cycle of how long periods would you like your SO's to be summed up into one order - one day, one week etc. That's a 1:N link - N days of SO's go into 1 PO.

Many thanks Miklos, I had just found the reordering policy was set to 'Order'. I have now set it to Lot-for-Lot and got the result I want.

One more thing - we basically just want to order everything that we have calculated in the plan in one big order, so have left the reorder cycle field blank which seems to have worked. Can you see any problem with this?

No if it works Seems in this case Navision assumes an infinite period (i.e. everything on the worksheet even if the SO due date is half a year ahead).

Jonathan there wil not be any problem if you have not defined the reorder
cycle. Also please check up the requirement with the client and depending upon the scrap quantity if you have to include inventory tick.
