I have setup on the Master plan - Method used to reduce forecast requirements = Transactions - reduction key
The Reduction key is created in Monthly buckets.
The Demand forecast in loaded in Weekly buckets.
MRP reduces the Forecast correctly - but the client wants the reduction to start and the requirement date of the order and reduce backwards, and not reduce the forecast from the begging of the Monthly buckets. Is that a possible setup?
Example 4 week Demand loaded with 100 each per week.
Sales order is created in the last week of the month for a 100.
Currently the reduction will start at the beginning of the month and consume the first weeks Forecast, and still Forecast for the last 3 weeks, including the week the order is in.
Is it possible to consume by - Month (reduction key bucket) but consume backwards and not start at the beginning of the Monthly bucket?
Hope that make sense?
