Please modify the IRP so that it shows demand for multi-level sub assemblies. We have several customers that want to upgrade to production management from work order, but can't because they need this feature to work for them.

Refer to KB article number 107116 for further details. The idea is that they have customer service people that take orders for items based on the ability to manufacture them in a timely manner. If they can't see that detail, then it will stop them from being able to take orders efficiently.

  • This feature was added in the 2023 Release, which was available in April 2023.

    A new "Explode Make Action" option was added on the Inventory Requirements Planning screen.
    It allows you to determine how the excess demand for bills with a procurement type of Make to Order or Make to Stock are processed.

    Selections for the option are "Parent Item" and "Parent and Component Items"
    - Select Parent Item to only see the bill and not explode any levels on a multi-level bill.
    - Select Parent and Component Items to explode all levels of a multi-level bill. When this option is selected, you will see the bill and all the required components to make the bill.
