Hi, everybody
I am using BaaN IVC4, and prepare to implement MPS in our comany.
Previously we use MRP + sales forecast as our planning system for 2 years. Now as the historical data is plenty, we want to use MPS.
Our company is a pure make to order company, Our main customer is about 40-50 big OEM plant. Our sales forecast is based on every customer's requirement next year. Our manufacture lead time is longer than customer order delivery time.
So I decide make the plan item (family item) according to every individual customer , namely 40-50 family item. Chang the product's item type from MRP to MPS in item master.
And in maintain planning bill of material. I set the percentage of our product's item against every family item.
But the problem is when sales maintain sales budget in sales statistics module, they only know the customer name, but when we copy it to MPS, I have to manually point this customer name to plan item which means I have to repeat 40-50 times of copy sales budget to demand forecast. Does it be the right way to perform ? Is there any better solution to this scenario ?
Regards
