Symptom
You expected that the Production Proposal would be created by MRP (Material Requirement Planning) run when available stock is below the Reorder Point.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supply Planning work center.
- Go to Product view.
- Open Advanced Search.
- Insert Product's ID.
- Insert Product's specification.
- Insert Planning area.
- Click Go button.
- Click Open button.
- Click Run Planning button and select Single BoM level.

Notice that no production proposal is created.
Cause
With Product Specification involved, Reorder Point Quantity is not considered. As whenever Product Specification is involved, Lot-Sizing Method is always Lot-for-Lot.
Resolution
This scenario is the system's expected behavior.
