Generating a Multiplant Requirements Plan for a Project

Select Multi-Facility Planning (G3423), MRP Regeneration.

On engineer-to-order projects, the parts list lines on a project work order determine the demand for components. In an interbranch environment, the supply branch meets the demand for a particular component.

When you run the Master Planning Schedule - Multiple Plant program (R3483), the system recognizes the one-to-one relationship between a project's supply and demand and creates transfer order messages for the component on the parts list. The resulting messages include the project number and indicate by the task number in the Source Demand field which work order on the work breakdown structure (WBS) generated the project replenishment message.
