# Resolving Parts on Order Still Driving Demand in RoverERP

Read Time: 2 minute(s)

Inventory

# Problem Statement

Parts that are already on order are still appearing as driving demand in RoverERP, leading to inaccurate demand calculations.


# Symptoms

  • Parts with existing purchase orders continue to show as driving demand
  • Demand planning or MRP reports indicate demand for parts that are already on order

# Cause

  • The Receipt Location (Receipt Loc) and Stock Location (Stock Loc) on the purchase order may not match the locations set in PARTS.E
  • If the locations are set incorrectly (for example, set to STK instead of INSP-A or DAP), the system may not recognize the on-order parts as fulfilling demand

# Resolution Steps

# 1. Check Location Settings in PARTS.E

  • Navigate to PARTS.E for the affected part
  • Review the Receipt Loc and Stock Loc fields to determine the correct locations

# 2. Review Purchase Order Locations

  • Open the relevant purchase order(s) for the part
  • Verify that the Receipt Loc and Stock Loc on the PO match the settings in PARTS.E

# 3. Update Purchase Order Locations if Needed

  • If the PO locations do not match the PARTS.E settings (for example, set to STK instead of INSP-A or DAP), update the PO with the correct location information

# 4. Save and Reprocess Demand

  • Save the changes to the purchase order
  • Re-run demand planning or MRP processes to confirm that the part is no longer incorrectly driving demand

# Verification

  • [ ] Confirm that parts on order are no longer showing as driving demand in reports or planning screens
  • [ ] Ensure that demand calculations now accurately reflect on-order quantities

# Note

  • Consistent location settings between PARTS.E and purchase orders are essential for accurate demand planning
  • Review and update location settings regularly to prevent similar issues
