Forecasting for supersession chain

$

0

We are using the automatic reorder point MRP type

 

when forecasting is run the system system takes individual material for determing the forecast and not the the material as a part of supersession chain.

 

Let me give u a example.

 

material "A" has a consumption in the past

material "B" is a new material (has no consumption at all) and

material "B" is superseeding material "A"

when the forecast program runs, it will calculate a reorder point for

material "A" because it has a consumption history, but the reorder

point of "B" is zero because material "B" has no consumption history

Suppose no stock,PO, or PRs for material "A" & "B".

When the MRP runs, it considers only the last supersession which

is "B". of course "B" has a zero reorder point and so no PRs are

generated.

 

Is there is a way to consider the summation of the reoder points of all the supersession chain materials in the MRP or to make the forecast runs only on the last supersession taking into account the consumption of all supersesion chain materials.
