Thx Bonnie!
Again excellent advice. And that is another option I'm now considering,
i.e., separating inventory discrepancies from quality issues by
locations within the quality whse. It is much easier establishing a
separate location verses a separate warehouse. The only reason I'm
still considering warehouse is because I can control who has access by
warehouse ~from BPCS security settings.
I am surprise, though, that every response was to keep the whse/location
in the Mfg (planning) facility. I think because my planners also have
access to our non-planning facility, that they would still have
visibility to the inventory? I have to think this thru some more...
Thx again Bonnie, your input is very helpful.

This is indeed a common issue. The solution is typically isolation of
the stock.
Moving your inventory to a different facility may make the stock too
isolated. Where we don't want MRP to use questionable stock, we
probably do
want our planners to be aware of it. A separate warehouse for the
non-nettable affect within the same facility enables visibility to the
non-nettable stock for the material planners. Using a descriptive
location for your inventory may enable both isolation and awareness.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Setting up an Inventory Discrepancies Whse
Hi All,
I am looking for some BPCS setting suggestions related to MRP and
Inventory...
We currently have a quality whse setup for material returns or other
inventory needing further inspection.? This whse is in our MRP facility
and usually does not contain much.
The issue I run into is that occasionally our folks transfer inventory
balances into this whse when finding huge inventory discrepancies during
cycle counting; where the questionable inventory may remain in this whse
until accounting can further research.? This sometimes causes big MRP
issues...
I think we should setup a separate warehouse, not under the MRP
facility, for huge inventory discrepancies that need further research.
I would only give our accounting folks access to this whse.? ?
My? question; have any of you setup a whse like this?? I'm trying to
find out if setting up an inventory discrepancy whse is normal or am I
breaking some big inventory rule...
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thx!
