Hello guys, I need your constancy. Thank you in advance. I set up fields as pictures: - Manufacturing Part: ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/e/7/e71e30e9be4c35e14951236958b123fc808d072c.png) ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/9/9/99c9f28fd8c87b9188ab23472e5f71618a8c6cf3.png) - Purchasing part: ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/3/7/379c246e5441e49f0bcaeffe12a2145b61047bbb.png) I have a SO for the manufacturing part. After running MRP process for manufacturing part, I don’t understand why PO suggestion didn’t suggest for material part (purchased part). Which fields I should add or remove? Any suggestion? What should I do? I highly appreciate for your support. ---

A sales order is only going to make a suggestion for a component. A manufactured part needs a job which mrp can make either firm or unfirm and then that job’s material will have suggestions. ---

Yep, in Time Phase, both A manufactured part and material one, I saw Job which MRP suggest, but when I check PO suggestion function to buy materials for Job MRP. It haven’t. ---

I am a bit confused and I am no MRP expert either. But your Purchased part does not have the BTO flag checked. I would have thought that for PO suggestions to be made the On hand qty-demand would have to be less than the (in your case) the min On-Hand/Safety stock. I am responding to this so I too can be schooled in the dark art that is MRP. ![a woman looking up at a white screen](https://media.tenor.com/APA15uT-y7wAAAAM/abell46s-snaps.gif) ---

In your pictures - not seeing all the key fields. First thing to check is the Sales Order. **Sales Order Release** - ShipBy Date **required** - Firm Order = True Your manufactured part is set as Buy to Order. If it is - then it would drive a PO suggestion for the mfg part. Setup parts as follows **Manufactured Part** - Site settings - Revision Setting **Purchased part** - Site settings - Qty Bearing=True
