Re: Exception Report - Use an alternative solution -- BPCS-L



My recommendation for reading the MRP Exception Report is DON'T. My
recommendation is to develop a new report that includes the open shop orders
(FSOL01), firm planned orders and planned orders (KFP) that includes the
reschedule date from the respective files. This one report would:
     show the current scheduled receipts (shop orders and firm planned orders)
     any new recommendations from MPS/MRP that need to be acted on
     suggestions for rescheduling (get this from the reschedule date that is in
     FSO and KFP files)
     You can even join to your routing file (FRT) or shop order routing detail
     file (FOD) to calculate the expected hours for the order
     put a time frame on how far out to include planned and firm planned orders

The same kind of thing can be done for Purchasing by substituting HPO file for
the FSO file. I have also made the Exception Report a stand-alone report, but it
is one line per item instead of one page per item.

Use MRP300 Planning/Pegging Inquiry to diagnose the reasons for exceptions if
the reschedule out/in date is worth even looking at (i.e. if the dollar value is
not significant and MRP tells you to move it out 2 days -- don't waste your
time)

If you must read the MRP exception report, reference your MRP300 screen --- it
never lies! At least I can't recall a BMR on MRP300 recently.
