Req Worksheets for multiple POs from one Sales Line

RobbieX · 2006-05-31

We are using Navision 4 SP1.
I'd like to be able to use Req Worksheets to get all the lines from a Spec Sales Order and then sometimes divide a line up for several POs.
For example, one line on the Sales Order is for 300 items but we want to order 100 from 3 different suppliers for capacity reasons.
At present, if I try to change the action message option to "Change Qty" there is the standard error message.
If we change the qty manually, then it says the qty needs to be the same as on the SO.
The online help does not seem clear, or am I missing something?
Please help....Thanks!

Dear RobieX,
maybe, you may use maximum inventory feature in the tab planning for all items you want to purchase, if.., the capacity you mean here is inventory capacity. but if one item supplied from 3 suppliers, I think it is impossible to define them in one item card, but you may use ite mvendor catalog.

Thanks for your help Johnson.
However, it seems that what I want to do may not be possible then.
When I said capacity, I meant the supplier's capacity.
For example, a supplier may only be able to manufacture 100 items in the time frame.
So we order 100 items from 3 suppliers to get the 300 items we need.
The trouble is dividing up the line from the SO using Req Worksheets.
Maybe we will have to divide the line up in the SO before making the POs?
It is not an ideal solution however.
Thanks again!

Hi,

I think you have to, so there will be 3 POs with different qty (100 / each) and in the planning worksheet you can select the vendor before carry out action message of the POs. so in the item card, just one vendor. in the SO, there are 3 separated items. it works good even the shipment date is same because your PO locations are different
