Adjust Shop Order Lot Size to Demand
Explanation
Use this activity to automatically increase or decrease the lot size of a shop order so that it covers all
succeeding demands after the shop order due date/time until the next supply. I.e., the shop order lot size is
adjusted so that the expected projected quantity on the date/time of the last demand before the next supply is
0.
Only demands without peggings are considered.
The calculation will also consider below parameters set on the Inventory Parts Intraday
Availability page:
- Include Only Firm Supplies - Only supplies classified as firm are considered. Firm supplies are shop
orders, purchase order lines and similar. Non-firm supplies such as purchase and shop order requisitions are
ignored.
- Include Only Firm Demands - Only demands classified as firm are considered. Firm demands are customer
order lines, shop order material lines and similar. Non-firm demands such as MRP planned demands are
ignored.
- Include Usable Qty in Balance - The usable on hand quantity in stock is considered as the starting
balance when calculating the projected quantity, if cleared, the logic will use 0 as the starting balance.
