We do the same thing every day here. We have alternate routers set up for different ways of manufacturing the same end product.
You can set up as many alternates up as you want, either enter a forecast or FPO's to drive the demand down to MRP.

[BPCS-L] Alternate Manufacturing Method






We are producing a widget in 2 different manufacturing methods. Method A,

or blank in BPCS, will be full production. We will purchase all the small

parts and raw materials and produce the item under Method A.

Method B, the alternate method in BPCS, will be fully produced by another manufacturer and sent to me. I will repackage this item and sell it as the same item just produce it under the alternate bill of materials and method in BPCS.

What I want to be able to do is this. Plan or schedule production for the

alternate method weeks, even months, in advance. Then have BPCS MRP plan production and generate demand for the default, or full production, method...without expediting the planned production schedule that I have in

place for the alternate production.

Any ideas?
