Hi
We have an increasing problem within our warehouse which is caused by what i believe is a fundamental flaw in Commitment logic provided by E1 (at least i cannot explain the logic used by E1 in relation to our business process). We are using E1 8.12 using standard inventory/sales module i.e. we do not have advanced warehousing installed. On our branch plant constants we are given 3 options when it comes to Inventory commitment (1/ Location with most qty - 2/ Lowest lot number - 3/ using lot date)
We dont use lots within our business so we only had the option of using 'Location with most Qty' this is casuing us problems in our BP by the fact that we are left with multiple locations with part pallets all over the BP.
In our system we can have up to 50 valid locations for a part number, say we started today with the maximum 216 of these parts to each pallet.
We get an order in the system for a qty of 300.
216 of these get commited to the primary location
The other 84 will get committed to a secondary location
this leaves a qty on hand of 132 in the secondary location
that night we replenish primary back to qty 216
next day another orer comes in for 300
again 216 get commited to primary
however this tiem the 84 gets committed to a different secondary, we end up with 123 at this location as well.
This goes on and on and we end up with part pallets in our warehouse.
To me it would make more sense for JDE to commit inventory form the location with the lowest qty on hand this way all the part pallets would be consumed until they are at zero and then move on to next secondary.
Does anybody else have this situation and how are you overcoming this problem?
thanks in advance for any help on this matter.
