We have sales items which can produced in two plants with different boms, routings, costprices etc.

We are thinking about the following solution to get this working :
In supplying relations we connect Receiving Item SALESITEM in cluster A to supplying item PRODUCTIONITEMPLANTA in cluster A and SALESITEM in cluster B to PRODUCTIONITEMPLANTB in cluster B

When we sell 20 SALESITEMS from a warehouse in cluster A, a distribution order is generated for the need of PRODUCTIONITEMPLANTA, so far it works.

The problem is that in our plant the production doesnot follow the exact demand from sales and on a regular base have overproduction.

So if we produce 22, the distibution order can be finished and 20 items are booked from sales to production, but 2 are left as PRODUCTIONITEMPLANTA

Now we are looking for a method to transfer the stock of production items to the sales items automatically. In principle the production item and the sales item are the same and it's a big disadvantage to have stock registered on 2 items.

I' amazed that all stock transactions are based on pull methods and I cannot find any push method at all.

All ideas are welcome !! I'm stuck on this one.
