Subject: MRP Planned Order Due Date

The short answer to the specific problem is you have released
the item that placed the requirement on the child item.
By doing this you have indicated to MRP it must get the
child created ASAP.  The earliest it can be created is the
date the Parent is due since the requirement is now "past due"
from a lead-time perspective.  I would be surprised if you
didn't see the child on an     MRP exception report
indicating an "Expedite" condition.

subject: MRP RELEASE DATE FOR SMALL PARTS
               Before and After Release of Parent

Hi to All    Using BPCS 405CD.     Have a question concerning MRP due date
of child part planned order before parent planned order is released  and MRP
due date of child part planned order after parent order  is released. Child
part planned order  has due date of one day before parent, when parent is a
planned order. If the parent gets released before the child part is
released, after MRP has run the child part planned order part due date
changes to the start date of parent

Why does the  due date for the child change to one day later after the
parent is released?  The start date for the parent is the same when the
parent is a planned order and when it is a released order. But, now instead
of the due date for child part planned order being day before the parent
start date, the due date of child part planned order is day of parent start
date.  Why does the due date for the child part say the day before the start
date of the parent before the release of the parent order and day of the
start date of parent after the release of the parent order?   Would
appreciate any help.
