Hi,
I'm trying to find a way for the following requirement:
A supplier delivers multiple parts and charges for every delivery. The quantities that are delivered are rather small, so that I would be able to order only every other week/every 14 days. If I use a fortnightly/14-day lot-size only, then the materials will be delivered every other week, but it still may happen that the supplier comes in every week as my order may look like the following:
part A & C in week 1
part B & D in week 2
part A & C in week 3
...
I would like to avoid that and have the MRP put everything into for instance week 1 & 3:
part A & B & C & D in week 1, 3, 5, 7... or 2, 4, 6, 8....
I'm currently looking into planning calendar and I'm trying to figure out whether I can tell the system in which weeks it is allow to place an order and in which it's not....
Anybody out there who would be able to help me on this one?!?
Thx & regards,
Bobby
