RE: Non related planned parts.

We have been experiencing something similar.  

We are 6.0.04 HP/Oracle.  

Query your KMR file for multiple planned orders for the same part on the
same day.  (Quantities may be different).  We found that though the planned
orders are clearing from the KFP, the requirements are not consistently
clearing from KMR. 

Our testing shows that there is a file lock on the KMR table as MRP504 or
MRP509 runs.  We run MRP500 and MRP600 for multiple facilities every night,
leaving a gap of 5-10 minutes between the start times for each facility and
making sure you're running regen and "clear planned orders" (MRP500) or
"Rebuild all Requirements"(MPR600), should solve the problem.

        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,
