[OFBiz] Dev - Re:Manufacturing Question

[Gan Chun Yee]

Hi Jacopo,
I tried your way and now it did generate the
Requirements. Anyway, what is the Inventory Event
Planned do?

However, I noticed the Require Start Date (9 Sept
2005) is earlier than my Created Date Time (13 Sept
2005), which means the required before date is 14 Sept
2005. Is this normal?

So now I have approved the Requirement and it is shown
in Requirements page under Order Management. My
question is how can i generate a purpose order from
the requirements?

Thank you.

Regards,
Gan

Yes, you should run the MRP function BEFORE starting
the Production
Run.
So the MRP will see that there is a scheduled
production run that will
cause the QOH to decrease under minimum stock and so
it will generate a
requirement for materials.

Let me know if it is not,

Jacopo

They are created and used by the MRP process: you can consider them a
log of the MRP process (useful to understand how requirements were created).

MRP takes into account the lead time needed to get the product from the
supplier... probably in your example, it's too late to create a purchase
order.

Go in the Order -> Order Entry page and init a purchase order; then, in
the left column, you'll see a link ("Requirements") that you can use to
add the requirements to the order.
