RE: Routing and Capacity Interaction upon Release of Shop Packet

Yes.  That feature is not being utilized anymore.  Only lead time days
is active. The problem is after the actual shop packet release which
utilizes route and capacity. The thought was that that feature(daily
lead time value and lead time days) only affects MRP Planning for a
release and due date and not actual shop packet date.  Of course the
dates(start and due) need to agree before and after the release of the
shop packet and they do not after a certain quantity is reached.

Have you looked at the daily lead time value in the CIC (facility
planning data) or item master?

Packet

Using BPCS 4.05CD

Question posed to me by our Planning Manager:

Why does release of a shop packet schedule receipt an extra day out than
needed to produce after reaching a certain quantity.  The quantity does
not exceed available capacity.  It does not even come close to exceeding
available capacity.  After this initial quantity, it  does not add
another day for additional quantity added until it reaches available
capacity.  Which is the result expected for the original quantity. What
is the trigger for this first extra day?

Anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks for your help.
