I know, earthshattering news. What I found today is that I have a kind of unsolvable problem. Basically, our sales backlog is so lopsided to two part numbers that using multiple process in MRP has a really finite limit of getting any more efficient. Here’s the situation. Roughly 100% of the revenue in the main plant comes from engineer-to-order, make-to-order trucks. An order might have dozens of lines for the same exact truck, but they are all quantity of 1 and make direct… When we had all of the MfgSys sales orders as make-direct, we didn’t need to use Pegging. But MRP took too long, so we changed some settings, long story, read that post if interested. Even then we punted on Pegging because I felt for that single level of top-level demand (level zero in MRP terms), Pegging was overkill. I assumed a clever query could do the math on the fly. I was not up to that task, so we hired a consultant. He seemed to succeed, but soon it became clear that his query (a SQL, um… stored procedure?) failed on maybe 5-10% of the orders. So then I went to my original plan of Pegging, and that’s been fine since. It is inefficient for our needs. At 2 AM, who cares. But it would be nice if I could run it for something smaller when needed. --- _[View the full topic](https://www.epiusers.help/t/can-you-run-filter-multi-level-pegging-for-a-single-part-and-other-why-questions-about-the-process/130727)._
