MRP & Safety Stock 1

[PTina]

When I run MRP it does not take into account the Safety Stock. A Manufacturing Order (MO) is only recommended if there is demand on a Forecast or Sales Order. I need it to recommend a MO if we're below the safety stock, even if there is no demand on a Forecast or Sales Order.

Does anyone know how I can get this to work?

Thanks.

Great Plains Safty Stock field is not really safety stock as you would expect.
MRP looks at Order Point Qty field (same screen - Inventory >> Item Resource Planning) and treats like safety stock. I think it works with Lot for Lot, Period Order Policy and Fixed Order Policy. It works per site - so you setup different safety stock levels (order point quantity field) for each site.
