Re: Reply: MRP and BOM (Item type) setting -- BPCS-L

You have several potential problems. First is to get the planning working correctly. Second is the impact on other things like Cost Roll-up if you have inappropriate Engineering data to the type of item. We also have parts that fluctuate between being purchased and being manufactured, based on a number of factors, such as cost and speed with which we need something when we have a capacity problem. If you want to keep the BOM on the purchased item, I suggest you change the effectivity so that it is not to be currently paid attention to, then if you want to change it back to manufactured, then change the effectivity on BOM and Routings so that once again that data is to be included. We also have an outsourcing scenario in which we changed the item # structure, so that the components sent to the outsourcer are tracked as discrete items, separate from the item made by the outsourcer.

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.

Delete the BOM and

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.
