Can someone explain why MRP is suggesting that I will be below min based on cancel suggestion? I have a firm transfer order that would take care of the demand. Seems like the system is trying to be smart and ignoring the incoming supply.
Hi Jayaram,
You will be below min (<1) if you proceed with suggestion and do the cancel TO. If canceled, You will not be sending the 1 and you will remain at 0 after the Job consumes on 3/22. That’s why timephase says you are below min.
My question really is, why is it telling you to cancel at all?
It might be a function of date.
The Job is taking you below MOH on 3-22 and perhaps the system does not want you to go below MOH. There is a check in Site Maintenance “Allow consume Min on hand” that may also affect whether system thinks it’s ok to slide by (does it make suggestions?) with MOH consumed.
I must admit also however, we are having some struggles with MRP seeming to not count in-transit all of the time. I haven’t figured out exactly when it’s happening yet. However, yours is not in-transit so…

We had the same issue with the in-transit transfer order which we overcome by not letting anything go to in-transit status. Ihad opened a case with Epicor and attached is the response I got from them.
We are using days of supply and the system is not reliably counting in-transit transfer orders…
@JayKrishna or @Nancy did y’all ever get to the bottom of this?
I am seeing similar issues where our system is not looking at the in-transit quantities.
Yes, we have to create a BPM to automate the whole shipment and receipt steps.
