the MRP, for a partially fulfilled sales order. there is any way it will consider backordered quantity as a quantity that creates non-demand?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) in NetSuite does not directly consider backordered quantities as a quantity that creates non-demand. However, there are workarounds that can be implemented to achieve similar results. One of the methods discussed involves the use of custom fields and workflows. For instance, a custom field can be added to the item record to store the minimum order quantity or other relevant information. This field can then be sourced to the Purchase Order Line for reference when finalizing Purchase Orders. Another method involves the use of scripting or workflows on the Purchase Order (PO) side. For example, a script can be written to round up the order quantity to the next multiple based on the order multiple from a custom field in the same record. This can be done at the Item Supply Plan and Planned Order level, so the planners will already see the actual suggested PO quantities during the supply planning and not wait until the PO is created or saved. However, it's important to note that these are workarounds and may not fully address the issue. Also, these methods may require additional customization and testing to ensure they work as expected in your specific NetSuite environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
