MRP Primary and Planning warehouses - Additional Questions

We have one planning warehouse but would like to set up a separate warehouse
for one of our production areas. What we had hoped was that we could create
MO's in the second warehouse and MRP in the main planning warehouse would
see the demands and replenishments. Is this something that anyone else has
tried.

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
