Hello,
I'm back in this great group !
I'd like to talk about minimum lot size. Currently, this functionality
is supported at material and sku level which is pretty cool. Material
planning was also enhanced to support sku group, this function is very
helpfull for external procurement where multi sourcing is done at
dimension level. For instance, you have one material with two
dimensions (color & size) relevant for MRP application (see function
MRM) but you want to group PR per color because of multi-sourcing
(several vendors due to capacity, price etc...).
Here comes the issue, if you decide to run MRP at sku group level
then, there is no minimum lot size check...nor at sku, article or sku
group level...Officially, this function is not supported by SAP at sku
level, however this is not consistent from a MRP prospective,
especially with two AFS functions. It would be good to get some
enhancements in this area.

Hello Mehdi,
Again, I have to agree that there is quite some room for improvement in the MRP settings for AFS.
Just two more example:
1) Planned delivery time is only on material level, but not on SKU level. However - like at in-house production - it could take longer to get bigger sizes replenished externally than small sizes.
2) Safety stock is supported on material and SKU level, safety time only on material level.
Kind regards,
Klaus Leisgang
