RE: Non related planned parts.

I was unsure of your version of BPCS but, try the following if 6.02 MM.

Try going to MRP300 (Planning and Pegging Inquiry) and looking on the right
of the screen.  This should show you any requirements (real or imagined by
BPCS).  This may help you target your problem.

There are several things that may impact MRP such as demand codes (MRP140
and INV100)& lot/ std. batch sizes.  If you have some items that seem to
plan correctly you may try to compare the set-ups in INV100 and MRP140.
Also, we have been told BOM900 (reorg) has something to do with MRP as well
as costs (We have never had a problem with MRP but BOM900 has help us in the
cost roll-up area).

Fellow BPCS Victims.

Could someone please help me out with the following problem:

For some purchase parts, which are planned through MRP, requirements are
planned which are not related to any order / forecast (planned) from MPS.
F.I we have an item which has a safety stock of 2000 pcs, but at the end of
this year, MRP has planned 300,000 parts!

In MRP140 all settings are OK.
Did anybody experience the same problem; what is the solution to this
problem.

Thanks,
