Reply: MRP and BOM (Item type) setting

The components CCC and DDD will still be planned even I change the item
type of assembly BBB to Purchased (N). Do I have to delete the structure
finally if we would like
to get the BBB be planned ?

Thanks.

Dear All:

Using BPCS C/S v6.1.01 on HP-UX. Have a question about the MRP calculating
result.

Product "AAA" with assembly "BBB" and the BBB with two components "CCC" and
"DDD".
Normally, the item type of BBB is assembly. After the MRP execution,
requirement
CCC and DDD will be calculated.

Question is:

If we oursourcing the BBB and change the item type to component, the
requirement CCC and
DDD will be still calculated in the same BOM structure. But we just needs
to calculate the
BBB only.

Can anyone know how to solve it ? Thanks.
