Swapnil Shah updated OFBIZ-7355:
--------------------------------
Description:
Here are the most common set of business requirement to support product level
replenishment within a given facility(store/warehouse) via any inter-company
facility (preferred warehouse/stocking facility) before raising the purchase
order from an outside vendors/suppliers.
In current standard OFbiz workflow there are essentially two basic types of
material requirements generated at product-facility level. Both of these can be
created manually or could be suggested by MRP engine:
* First, is "Product Requirement" which suggests that the given product is
going to be low or out of stock within any given facility in a given time frame
based on upstream demand signals within the supply chain and hence can more
commonly be treated as Purchase Requirement that need to be eventually
transformed as Purchase Orders to be raised from a given vendor/supplier
* Second, is "Internal Requirement" which suggests that the given product is
going to be low or out of stock within any given facility in a given time frame
based on upstream demand within the supply chain. But such products can be
internally manufactured(produced) and hence can more commonly be treated as
Production Requirement that need to be eventually transformed as Production
Order (Production Run).
*Gap*
Currently the OFbiz planning algorithm (aka MRP) generate the requirement by
only considering the supply available within the given facility. But there is
no planning logic built into the system which can support and look up the
supply availability in a complex supply chain setup where business could be run
using multiple facilities spread geographically. A more common examples could
be brick and mortar retail stores chain having multiple stores spread across
geographically. Or any manufacturing business that own multiple production
facilities and warehouse spread across geographically.
*Requirement*
There are many instances, where material visibility in a multi-facility setup
within an organization or company is not very accurately gauged. We would need
to start building an intelligent planning system that could gauge such material
availability across facilities and honor them while furnishing the requirements
around any product within any given facility.
Let's consider a simple use case as follows:
was:Let's use this ticket to post the finalized business requirement to
support product level replenishment within a given facility(store/warehouse)
via any inter-company facility (preferred warehouse/stocking facility) before
raising the purchase order from an outside vendors/suppliers.
