PO consolidation on a weekly base.

[Roel Bakker <RBakker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all.

My name is Roel Bakker, Production Planner and Material Controller at 
Mitsubishi Equipment Europe B.V. Air-conditioning Division.
On 15th October 199 we went live with BPCS V6.1.

I have one problem with PO consolidation: Our procurement strategy is 
the release  purchase orders once a week, with a due /delivery date of 
also once a week. However BPCS PO consolidation (info supplied by MRP) 
suggest PO on each working day in a week. Off course it is possible to 
change the request date but my question is: is it possible to have a 
fixed due date per week?
I was informed that this could be solved with shipping patterns 
(PUR161) after setting up week / date X-reference (PUR155) but I do 
not think this is the solution.

All info is welcome.

Thanks,


Roel.
