This is in Baan 4.

When we run MRP it considers all the inventory in the nettable warehouses. So warehouse A might have the inventory but warehouse B will require it. but MRP will just consider it as A+B.

Now how to find out that users need to make transfers from warehouse A to B? is there is automatic procedure to do it? if not please suggest some practical way out...

( Multi site is ruled out!)

Hi,

we faced a very similar problem years ago. We were told that the DRP-module (part of Tranportation) is responsible for that. The DRP-run generates planned RPL-orders which can be confirmed and tranferred (similar to MRP-orders).
We took a short glance on it and decided to create the RPL-orders manually. Mostly because Transportation is not the best supported module in Baan IV (we know what we talking about because we're using Transportation for other purposes :) ) and a manual workaround is acceptable for us.

Good luck,

Martin

Thanks Martin.

Yes, DRP order setup would be painful here. so manual rpl orders is the only good way out.

But which report do you get the users so that they know a manual rpl order needs to be created?

will we need to customize the reports? if yes from which tables do you suggest. ?

Yes, a customized report (or session) is very useful. We created a report called 'Planned Inventory Transactions by Warehouse and Item' which reads table tdinv150 - a piece of cake for your programmers :) . Even the required key in tdinv150 is already present. I don't know why this kind of session/report does not exist in standard Baan, our users love it.

Best regards,

Martin
