Resolving Parts on Order Still Driving Demand in RoverERP

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
