Hello all,
I would like to know more about this stuff. So do share your valuable thoughts.
I was trying out a sub contracting scenario with multiple Vendors and Production Versions involved. The production version is designated in such a way that lot size/quantity of the requirement determines which of the available version's to be taken into consideration whilst generating procurement proposal via MRP.
#1. Production Version:
5 Version's of the BOM are assigned to various lot sizes.
#2. I had 5 different info records created for the material-Vendor combination. Each one of them were assigned with a Prod version to it.
Sample:
#3. Post these settings i had a MRP run executed. Well !!! the results were different off-course. I neither did see the procurement proposals classified based on the prod version nor the first prod version assigned to the procurement proposals ( i meant i had a different prod version(version 4) assigned to the procurement proposals generated).
Questions:
#1. Well the first thing that did strike my mind was how could i get the source list work for such scenario's ? I guess i can't go with quota arrangement coz which would split the procurement proposals into many halves and assign's it accordingly to the vendor.
#2. How come production version 4 given the top priority here ?
Source List state:
a. I had an item (tried the others as well) checked with fixed vendor indicator but the info record of the material-vendor combination had a different Prod. Version in it (well not PR4, i can guarantee you on that)
b. I had nothing marked with fixed vendor indicator. Results post MRP still did pick the same prod version (Version 4).
#3. Last but not the least how can i get this thing to work ?
Please do help out.
PS: MRP 4 selection Method: 2 - Selection by Prod.Version

Rahul
