Effect of closing a Transfer Order line

That is ok, the root cause is being addressed, that being that the district sales people weren't taking open transfer orders in to account when reordering stock.
They had some thrown together report made by the consultants where it showed something like "Reorder amount = (Minimum + Demand) - On Hand" totally ignoring transfer orders.
I've created a cool dashboard for them to use now and they can see all their open sales order releases, open transfer orders, as well as Minimum level, on hand and demand, etc.

We don't run MRP on our districts (Plants), the suggestions are coming as a result of the district's creating transfer orders.

Thank you,

Tony

CAN you mark a TO closed in any other place but TO receipt entry?

However you do it, closing the TOs 'short' won't fix the root cause of why they were generated to transfer too much material to begin with.

You should have your people also review all the MRP order sizing & trigger data or the system will just continue to recommend inappropriate orders.

We have some of our district plants accidentally over-ordering on some of the parts that the main plant sends to replenish stock.

We are going to have each district review their open transfer orders and close any lines that would result in over-stock.

I was going to have them open the transfer orders in TO Entry and mark each TO line with duplicate parts as Status "Closed"

Once the districts are done with this, in a day or two, Planning will review a report I make them that is basically:

select tfordnum, tfordline, partnum, ourstockqty, plant, toplant, supplyjobnum, demandjobnum, receivedqty, stocktrans

from tforddtl

where openline = 0 and shipped = 0

Based on this report, planning will cancel/the supply/demand jobs accordingly

Does anyone see any flaws in my process here?

thanks for any help or advice.
