Register Project Demand
Explanation
Perform this activity to define the parts and services (no
parts) needed by the project.
There are four supply options available for a part: Purchase, Shop Order, Dynamic Order Processing (DOP) and
Project MRP. A default value is given depending on the part type and supply type
in inventory.
When the part has the Project MRP supply option, then a supply will be generated
by Project MRP , if there are no pegged supplies that have been already created.
If the part is a standard planned item, the demand for it
will be seen by MRP and Order Point calculations. The Create Project
Supply Request menu option is also disabled in this case. Reservation and issues of standard
planned items are done from standard inventory. Committed cost is acquired when
the part is reserved, while used cost and progress are acquired when the part
has been issued. If the part is project specific, then reservation is done
from project inventory.
A service (no part) has no supply option to select from.
It can only be purchased by default.
An offset can be given to a miscellaneous demand line. An offset is a number of
days which the early finish date can be adjusted with to give the desired
required date. If not specified, the required date for a miscellaneous demand
will be the same as the early finish date of the connected activity.
Prerequisites
- The project must be connected to a site.
System Effects
- The Create Project Supply Request menu option is disabled
when the part is a standard planned item.
- A suggested value is given for the
Planned cost
based on the main supplier price, and is multiplied by the part quantity.
- Planned costs and hours (of inventory purchase parts
and non-inventory purchase parts) are reflected
on the activity information. If the supply option for
the demand is Project MRP and it consumes forecasted demand, then the
planned costs are not reflected in the demand activity. This is because the
planned cost has already been reflected in the forecast activity when the
forecast was registered.
- Planned cost and hours given for a service or no part is also
reflected on the activity information. The cost is divided
by the required quantity, which is the basis for updating the Price/Base value
on the Purchase Requisition line created for a service or no part.
- If offset has been specified to a miscellaneous demand
line, its required date becomes equal to early finish date of the connected
activity minus the offset.
