AX-Master Planning does not consider stock and PO scheduled

dppandit

Hi Expert

As per the Business requiremnt of the client we have to club the quantities of the Purchasable and Production Items on monthly basis aftre the Master Scheduling run.

1. To achieve this we have used Item Coverage as 'Period' and duration 30 Days. Now when we run the Master Scheduling AX is
neither considering the Stock Nor Purchase Order scheduled to be reach before the production order start date.

2. One More doubt is, in case when we have used Coverage Code as 'Requiremnt' system is genrating the supply (Purchase Order
and Production Orders) as per the requiremnt, but considering stock and Scheduled Purchase Order, which should not be the
case. As requirement Coverage Group means, no consideration at least stock.

We are more concerned on the point number one, which we are going to map in AX.

Any help will be applauded.

Thanks

Hi

The period coverage group naturally considers stock and scheduled purchase orders, it is the setup of your system that is not quite correct. You will need to detail an example down of the demand, stock and purchase orders by site and warehouse and also tell us your coverage group settings, any item coverage group settings, the dimension group settings and the master plan settings.

However my initial guess would be your negative and positive days, these will be set to ignore the scheduled orders and stock depending upon how you have set them.

Yes the requirement will look at stock and the current plan, it will also allow you to set minimum stock requirements against it. Requirement is where requirements are seen individually, but all other inputs are considered in the replenishment.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your vaulable inputs. Aftre careful scanning of the system and manuals I have cracked the code. Your inputs were very useful in decodinng the problem.

Still I am not convinced about the Requirement Based planning consideraiton of the stock. If 'coverage code' is requirement, then system should not consider the stock, whatever are the parameters. This is like 'Make-to-Order' scenario.

could you please clarify this.

Thanks..

If you are in a true make-to-order environment you can configure the master plan to ignore the stock, all others will replan including inventory as standard.
