RE: MRP300D

Marc,

You have to watch the following settings in the MRP140:

Master Scheduled - M items are planned in MRP500 & DRP500, N items are
planned in MRP600 (as long as the other settings are correct.)
Requirements Code - I - used for Independent items only (such as customer
order - it will not plan as a component in MRP600), D - use for Dependent
items only (these are normally component items planned during MRP600), S -
The need could be from a Independent or Dependent demand (this is usually
the safest and will capture both the independent and dependent needs).
Demand Codes 1 & 2 - This tells the system what demands to plan for before
and after the time fence.  (Forecast planning includes minimum balances.)
1           Greater of Forecasts and Customer Orders
2           Sum of Customer Orders and Forecasts
3           Forecasts Only
4           Customer Orders Only

Order Policy - IF this field is blank the system will not plan during MPS,
MRP or DRP.

Hope this helps.

I have a situation where I cannot figure out why a certain item is not
calculating when I run MRP500 and MRP600. When I use MRP300D and view the
item in question, I see on the header info "Activity Ý". I know this
field
comes from the CIC data or MRP140. If I blank this field out for that
specific item and re-run MRP500, MRP600 and returns to status "Y" and again
fails to calculate.

How does this field get to the "Y" status and how can I prevent it from
going to a "Y".

Thanks

Marc Lacelle
