How to deal with Demand Planning - using alternate item to phase in/out product?
The following scenario exists:
Part A - existing inventory item with low stock setup as reorder point supply method
Part B is a revision of Part A and supersedes it, currently has zero stock and replenishment method is setup as Material Requirements Planning so appears in Supply planning Repository.
Part B also has Part A setup as the Alternate Source Item so Demand Planning can use the sales history as moving average calculation for Supply Planning.
Question: is there a way that as Part A stock reduces then Supply Planning highlights a requirement for a planned purchase order for Part B, but not until the stock is required based on lead-time etc.
