I was able to use the above in MRP very successfully but really struggle with the IRP version. Part of this is due to the fact that it considers warehouses SEPARATELY instead of grouping them into a nice total using the MRP Warehouse Grouping Function.
At any rate, can someone tell me how I know what warehouse I should set up the Projected Demand for in order for the exploded BOM's to accurately reflect needed components? Note that the end/sold items have different default warehouses but ALL COMPONENTS are ordered and purchased from the Main Warehouse 000. I just want to be able to look at warehouse 000 for the printed version of my IRP report for purchased parts. That is all I care about at the moment.
So should the projected demand(s) for our end items be set up under the warehouse code that is the default for that item? Or should I just set up the projected demand under 000 for everything?
I am really confused by the "separation" of warehouses and how it impacts the IRP output. This is something that was much more straightforward in MRP.
(Note too that all of my reorder points for components are set up under the Main Warehouse 000.)
Appreciate input from anyone who has successfully conquered IRP output...!
