Help with Planning Workshhet (Multiple Order problem)

apap

Hi everyone,
I would like to know what should be the setup for an item, in order the multiple order field participate in the planning Worksheet.
My example is the following:
item A is used in a BOMof item B and we are running the MRP generation plan.
The item A has the following parameters:
Replenishment System:Purchase
Planning Reordering Policy: Lot for Lot
Minimum Order Quantity:10000
Order Multiple:1000

The real actual need for item A is 10085 units.The MRP function proposes 2 Purch Orders of 10000 units
How should I configure the item in order the MRP to propose me 1 Purch.ORder with 11000 units

Regards

What do you have set in the components at location setting? Under the assumption you are not using SKU's!

SKUs exist,and the setup is the same with the item

Are you having 2 production orders for item B?
If the due dates are the same for the production orders the system will suggest you one purchase order, but if they differ it will suggest you 2 purchase orders and of course each with 10.000 (minimum quantity).

you're right, thank you very much. Could you please tell me if I can setup the planning in order to propose me one production order with the total of the two production orders

Change the policy from lot-for-lot - do you understand this policy? Try Fixed Reorder and see what happens.
