Change your order policy code to "B" and set the order points equal to the
"safety stock" levels you desire (note that you can also use code "C" and
have the system order "up to" a set quantity".
Set the warehouse relationships so that the demand from your supermarket
warehouse is passed through to the production warehouse.
Set the parts in the supermarket warehouse to auto-gen PO's
Run the reorder report on a set frequency (daily, weekly, etc.). this is a
key fact. If you don't run the reorder report the parts set to policy "B"
or "C" do not generate demand.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] MRP question
Good Morning - we currently have two planning warehouses in place, one
production warehouse that is uncontrolled and one 'supermarket' warehouse
that is controlled. We would like to do interwarehouse transfers from
production to the supermarket and drive auto PO's created from the
supermarket warehouse based on safety stock levels only and ignore all
other demand on the production warehouse side (replenishing supermarket
locations with PO receipts until safety stock levels fall again due to the
warehouse transfers). We are still getting auto PO's generated from the
production warehouse and the PO's from the supermarket were only created
once, then stopped.
Any hints on how items need to be coded to make this happen - we only want
to do this for certain parts, for the time being.
Much thanks,
Tim Bertnick
