Re: MRP Primary and Planning warehouses

The basic definition of  distribution WH(s) is to allow you to set up a 
non-planning WH (Planning WH=0) this by definition is a distribution WH, NO 
MO(s), NO MRP run.

you can associate a distribution WH with only 1 planning WH...this will 
combine the ON-Hand balances during an MRP run of the planning WH. ie allow 
visibility of the dist WH Inventory.

logically then, in mapics, you would never want to combine a dist wh balance 
with multiple planning w/h, it would double up your 'dist' WH inventory, ie 
show it avail in mult planning WH.

Hope this helps....

If not, please  explain a little more of the scenario, or example you are 
trying to solve.

I have 2 production facilities, WH 1 and WH2.  I have them both setup as
planning warehouses.  I have a WH 3 that supplies both production facilities
but in my warehouse setup I can only define WH 3 as a demand warehouse for
one of my planning warehouses.

How can I use WH 3 as a demand warehouse for both planning warehouses?
Should I change the primary planning warehouse for WH 2 to WH 1?

Thanks
