I'm trying to figure out how to set up multiple automatic requirements
for a product, and I need some help. A product will generate multiple requirements automatically when a sales order is approved. One requirement is created automatically if inventory levels fall below a certain point - this requirement triggers a production run. Another requirement is created automatically when a sales order is approved regardless of inventory levels - that requirement is for product installation. I spent some time looking through the catalog manager and the auto-requirements services - createAutoRequirementsForOrder and createATPRequirementsForOrder. I don't see how to set this up. It appears that you can assign only one requirement method to a product, and for some reason that method is connected to inventory. The second requirement I mentioned (for product installation) is not tied to inventory, it is a requirement for labor. Does anyone know how I can set this up? -Adrian |

Automating Requirements is supported by MRP module; Opentaps wiki has a very good write up on this; Following is a good starting point http://www.opentaps.org/docs/index.php/Automating_Purchasing_with_Requirements - Sakthi On 2/2/12, Adrian Crum <[hidden email]> wrote: > I'm trying to figure out how to set up multiple automatic requirements > for a product, and I need some help. > > A product will generate multiple requirements automatically when a sales > order is approved.

Thank you for the link, but unfortunately it doesn't tell me anything I
don't know already. I ended up creating a custom entity and service to accomplish what I needed. An additional requirement that I hadn't mentioned previously is the ability to trigger automatic requirements based on the internal organization - which I was able to accomplish with the custom entity and service. -Adrian On 2/16/2012 11:41 PM, Integrin Solutions wrote: > Adrian - > > Automating Requirements is supported by MRP module; Opentaps wiki has > a very good write up on this; Following is a good starting point > http://www.opentaps.org/docs/index.php/Automating_Purchasing_with_Requirements > > - Sakthi > > On 2/2/12, Adrian Crum<[hidden email]> wrote: >> I'm trying to figure out how to set up multiple automatic requirements >> for a product, and I need some help. >> >> A product will generate multiple requirements automatically when a sales >> order is approved.

Just so i know, why create a service, why not use MRP module for
automating Requirements management? Am i missing your point? - Sakthi On 2/16/12, Adrian Crum <[hidden email]> wrote: > Thank you for the link, but unfortunately it doesn't tell me anything I > don't know already. > > I ended up creating a custom entity and service to accomplish what I > needed.
