How can we get MRP to create "order messages" for lower level items for parent items that have work orders with no sales order or forecast demand?
We sometimes have the situation where we want to manufacture a R&D item. We insert a work order for this item but get a "cancel" message because MPS does not have any demand to support it. We can still make the item however, planners do not get "order messages" for the lower level items because of the "cancel" message for the parent. The lower levels have "cancel parts list" messages.
We do not want to create a sales order or forecast to handle this situation. Any alternative solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
