I would like to announce you that, we have replaced Production Plan Tool with new Production Plan. Currently, this feature is available in develop branch and will be released in version 11.
The new features added in production plan are as below
Production planning tool was single doctype therefore keeping track of production plans was not possible, but with new production plan it’s possible.
User can enable/disable Include Exploded Items(Use Multi-Level BOM) against each item in production plan item which was not present previously in the production planning tool
A user can see the list of raw materials used in the production plan also then can select different warehouse against each raw material for making material request.
When include exploded items, the material request for raw material for production raises actual qty - planned qty but we already have the stock balance of Sub Assembly 1. So we need to raise the balance quantity for the Sub Assembly 1.
@rohit_w does your fix work for Multi-level BOMs as well? There could be a case where there are 3-4 levels of BOMs.
This way does your fix traverse the entire tree and find out the best combination ?
Is there any way that material requests can be consolidated? It doesn’t make sense to me why there would be separate material requests for purchase for the same item from a production plan.
I do have a request, is it possible to re-enable the .csv download functionality previously had with the Production Planning Tool, for each instance of the Production Plan DocType?
