Preallocation not working for MRP Lite

Hello,
We are using MRP in Lite Mode. We have a situation where we want to preallocate/reserve a part for future needs. I turned on preallocation in the configuration setting as described in the link below.

I am following the documentation for preallocation given here:

“After pre-allocation has been enabled, and you have it set for a PO and/or bin, then it will impact waterfall and MRP (the allocation program factors pre-allocation in).

We preallocated a component and then looked at the waterfall and MRP. In the waterfall for the part, it is correctly forecasting that we need to order an extra one (since one will be preallocated). MRP doesn’t seem to care for the preallocation so says we don’t need to order anything.

Can you please take a look at this?

Edit: we took care of it by setting ROP… so maybe just take this as a bug report for now.

Unfortunately pre-allocation is not supported on Lite mode of MRP. It is supported on Standard Mode. I’m glad you were able to solve your issue.

Thanks,
