How would you set up an inventory transfer rule in the MRP module so that the RM would transfer from one location to the other if materials weren't available to fulfill from location a

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set up an inventory transfer rule in the MRP module so that the Raw Material (RM) would transfer from one location to the other if materials weren't available to fulfill from location A, you would need to configure your planning rule group and replenishment settings. Here are the steps: 1. Navigate to

Lists > Supply Planning > Planning Rule Group

. Here, you can define the transfer lead time for the materials between the two locations. This lead time will be used by the MRP to plan the transfers. 2. Set up the replenishment method for the items at location A to be 'Replenish Location By Transfer Order'. This can be done in the item record under the 'Inventory' subtab. This will ensure that when the inventory at location A is not sufficient to meet the demand, a transfer order will be created to bring the materials from the other location. 3. In the item record, under the 'Inventory' subtab, set the 'Preferred Stock Level' for location A. This is the level at which you want the system to trigger a transfer order when the inventory falls below this level. 4. Also, in the item record, set the 'Reorder Point' for location A. This is the inventory level at which you want the system to trigger a purchase order or work order to replenish the inventory. 5. Finally, run the MRP. The system will generate planned transfer orders when the inventory at location A is not sufficient to meet the demand. Remember, the MRP system considers inventory transferred from one location to another as a supply activity rather than a demand one. So, the transfer from location B to A will reduce the supply at location B and increase the supply at location A. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
