Questions from the webinar
Note: We are clarifying some of the questions and answers. Answers to those questions will follow shortly. Please check back or feel free to contact us directly.

	What about purchasing allocation between 2 suppliers? For example, 60% & 40% purchase allocations from 2 different suppliers. Can QAD plan for that?
In QAD Advanced Repetitive, you can set up MRP to allocate a percentage between two suppliers. 32 Soft’s PO Workbench Data Loader also has this functionality. Please contact us with questions.
	If an item has multiple MPN, and each MPN has a different lead time or even MOQ, can QAD take multiple lead times and MOQ in such a case?
TBD
	Can you recommend any resources on DDMRP?
The best resource for DDMRP (Demand Driven MRP) is the Demand Driven Institute. You can also find information at DynaSys.
	We use QAD 2016 EE. What is pegging? We do not see that functionality on our version.
Pegging is defined as: Showing the parents that are creating the demand for components and the quantities needed, through MRP explosion. It uses where-used logic to identify the current sources of demand. This can be accomplished thru the use of the 23.14 menu by looking at the source of demand. Or, you can build a simple browse against the mrp_det table. Please contact dhl@32soft.com if you would like the specifics of building such a browse.
	We have components that are entering stock the moment they leave our supplier. Transport times are up to 6 weeks. Is there a way to have MRP consider this? Items are in stock but not available for production until six weeks later.
TBD
