Exclude a PO from MRP

I couldn't agree more - seems ridiculous that you can't exclude something like this from an MRP run - I have tried 'other' but it won't do it if it is an inventory item

The real problem is that you should be able to buy a Part Number to an “Other” instead to Inventory.

Other ERP Systems let you do this –

Look at all the hassle you need to go through so it doesn’t show up on MRP.

Create the job and on the material tab select purchase direct. Create a PO and select job material to purchase for that job. Lock the quantity and/or date on the PO if you dont want MRP giving you messages to move in or move out. MRP will plan around the PO and will leave it along as long as you are already fulfilling the supply for that job

Subject: [Vantage] Exclude a PO from MRP

I want to exclude a PO from MRP because it is being used by R&D and I will need MRP to ignore this so that Production get sufficient stock if needed. I am thinking of several scenarios to achieve this:

• Create a new part for R&D - say RD-370024F and make sure it isn't an MRP item - don't think Inventory guys would be happy with this
• After sending the PO unapprove it and or put it on hold - haven't tested this but I am sure it wouldn't get picked up by MRP - then approve it either post MRP or when the items arrive - requires someone to remember to unapprove and then not question why an unapproved PO has been received
• Raise a Sales Order to ourselves for the quantity - cancel the Sales Order on receipt of PO - again requires managing

Anyone out there found a neat way of dealing with this?

Why don't you change the plant or warehouse on the PO?
You can do that on the releases tab.

We don't have a second Plant set up - I believe you need Multi Site Module
for that and we don't have it - and I don't believe you can run MRP by
warehouse - I certainly can't see an option to do that

You could create a job for the RD and use buy-direct. This would make MRP see the PO quantity as allocated already. I wouldn't recommend this unless you already have tried buy to job before. This might not be the time to learn. :)

Could you make a R&D bin on the part and make that bin non-nettable?


I think moving inventory into this bin will take this quantity out of circulation then. This thought is similar to a rejected part bin that you don't want the qty counted and planned on for production use.

Just an idea...

The challenge what is the PO that is coming in will still be visible to MRP. Once the parts arrive, they could be put in the non-nettable bin and MRP would see the supply disappear, but it would be too late.

Another option would be to set a minimum stock quantity on the part equal to the R&D quantity. If a new demand was entered, Epicor would add the new demand + the minimum stock quantity and see that it exceeds the one PO and suggest a buy. You then simply return the minimum stock quantity back to the original value once the parts arrive and are consumed.

We already have a non-nettable bin for these items - the problem is that
whilst the PO hasn't been received it is seen by MRP :-(
