Re: WIP Tracking

A shop order can allocated materials from multiple warehouses so long as the
components are set up correctly you can force the allocation of an item
against a warehouse other than that on the shop order. Firstly the Facility
planning record must be set to Facility wide backflushing (MRP140).

Next set the default location (JIT110) for the component / warehouse to
Forced (this assumes that the stock of this component is in a fixed location
within the warehouse. Forced will force allocations to select the stock from
this location / warehouse and ignore others. If no stock exists then no
allocation will be made, however if you are using JIT600 of SFC650 to report
against the shop order this process will automatically remove inventory from
this location / warehouse even without an allocation, potentially driving
the location negative. Give this a try and let me know how you get on....


Bye the way how are you finding the configurator ?
