Tom,
If forecasting sales, the best practice would be to forecast at selling facility and allow DRP to drive planned resupply requirements to the supplying facility by the Relative Quantity defined in the Distribution Relationship, DDR file. The Demand Time Fence and Demand Codes can be tailored to each item's requirements in MRP140, CIC file.

The Distribution Relationship between facilities is setup in DRP100, (DDR file). You can set up so that the selling facility will get 50% of its resupply from the 2 manufacturing facilities by setting the relative quantity for each manufacturing facility @ .50. If you wish a 60/40 split, set up 1 facility @ a relative qty of .6 and the 2nd @.4
You can vary the relative quantity by item/facility. If you wish to have all items at the same relative quantity, enter *All as the Item Number and the desired relative quantity.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Splitting DRP Orders between 2 Facilities
The exact requirements of this are a bit vague yet, but I've been asked to investigate possibilities.
We have a selling facility which takes products from 2 of our manufacturing facilities. Is there any way for BPCS planning to split requirements for the parts between the 2 facilities, so that 50% of the requirement would be loaded on a DRP order to facility A and 50% would be loaded on facility B. Or 60% on one, 40% on the other.
Not sure if the splitting would be done at individual part level, or on a consolidation of parts for each due date, or whatever....
Just wanting to get some idea if anyone else does anything similar.
We are on ERP Lx 8.3.2
Thanks in advance
