[New Feature Proposal] Split production plan generated material request by default supplier, round up to min pack qty

1

production plan generated material request has following 2 issues

  1. all purchase related items in one material request, convert material request to following documents such as supplier quotation, purchase order etc need to be done manually one by one, normally by selecting the supplier
  2. even though there is safety stock and min purchase quantity, both it is same concept as min pack qty.

solution highlight

  1. auto split material request by default supplier defined in item master
    2.auto round up qty per defined min pack qty in item master

technical details

  1. add custom field Purchase Vendor into material request, will be auto filled by server script
  2. add min pack qty custom field into item master, maintain it accordingly
  3. create custom server script for doc event for material request, code as below
if doc.material_request_type == 'Purchase' and not (doc.purchase_vendor and doc.flags.split_mr):
    item_code_list = [item.item_code for item in doc.items]
    qty_list = frappe.get_all("Item", 
        filters = {'item_code':('in', item_code_list),
                    'min_pack_qty': ('>',0)},
        fields =['item_code','purchase_uom', 'stock_uom', 'min_pack_qty'])
    #转换成字典
    qty_dict = {(item.item_code, item.purchase_uom or item.stock_uom):item.min_pack_qty for item in qty_list}
    item_default_list = frappe.get_all('Item Default', 
                                    filters = {'company': doc.company,
                                            'parent':('in', item_code_list)},
                                    fields=['default_supplier','parent'])
    supplier_item_map = {}
    for item_default in item_default_list:
        item_list = supplier_item_map.setdefault(item_default.default_supplier, [])
        item_list.append(item_default.parent)
    i = False
    for (supplier, item_list) in supplier_item_map.items():
        if not i:
            first_supplier = supplier
            first_mr_item_list = item_list
        else:
            new_mr = frappe.copy_doc(doc,ignore_no_copy=False)
            new_mr.purchase_vendor = supplier
            new_mr.flags.split_mr = True
            items = []
            for row in new_mr.items:
                if row.item_code in item_list:
                    min_pack_qty = qty_dict.get((row.item_code, row.uom), 0)
                    if min_pack_qty:
                        Quotient = row.qty / min_pack_qty
                        rounded_quotient = frappe.utils.floor(Quotient)
                        if Quotient > rounded_quotient:
                            row.qty = (rounded_quotient + 1) * min_pack_qty
                            row.stock_qty = row.qty * row.conversion_factor
                    items.append(row)
            new_mr.items = items
            new_mr.insert()
        i = True
    doc.purchase_vendor = first_supplier
    items = []
    for row in doc.items:
        if row.item_code in first_mr_item_list:
            min_pack_qty = qty_dict.get((row.item_code, row.uom), 0)
            if min_pack_qty:
                Quotient = row.qty / min_pack_qty
                rounded_quotient = frappe.utils.floor(Quotient)
                if Quotient > rounded_quotient:
                    row.qty = (rounded_quotient + 1) * min_pack_qty
                    row.stock_qty = row.qty * row.conversion_factor
            items.append(row)
    doc.items = items

Hi @szufisher,
Could this be extended somehow to “Request for Raw Materials” from “Sales Order”?
https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/issues/27444

instead of directly click button Request for Raw Materials" from sales order form, is it feasible to run production plan for the sales order?

Noup. Basically because of these:

  1. It’s a very small company, just a few users, non of them with manufacturing roles or knowledge.
  2. I’m trying to make the use of ERPNext as simple as possible.
  3. The company doesn’t manufacture, all is subcontracted, therefor works orders -generated with production plan- are not required.

However, the “Request for Raw Materials” at “Sales Order” it’s not working properly, agree?
