Topic: Demand is not calculated correctly

Let's say item X had item Y in its BoM with quantity of 1 of X.

If there is a sales order for 2 of item X, it shows a demand of:  X 2 and Y  2

Shouldn't it show a demand of Y 1 because there is already 1 of item X made, therefore not requiring another of item Y.

Thanks!

Re: Demand is not calculated correctly

This is a very complex calculation and has been implemented by several using this fascility. Please be patient. this should work.

Thanks Joe for the response. So by this, will this calculation be implemented soon? Or will it have to be implemented through modification of FrontAccounting?

Re: Demand is not calculated correctly

I hope some of the implementors will contribute to this topic. It is easy to be totally confused when trying to follow the algorithms. The only thing is that I know it works. Nobody else have complained.

Re: Demand is not calculated correctly

So it is much more involved than a simple checkbox to enable this. It requires changing the algorithms in the code.
