RE: Item Master "Ownership"

[dcerrai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear Colleague
we have used BPCS since 1994, and this has requested the creation of a
specific company-wide function "ITEM MASTER", as you already did.
This is particularly necessary if your company works in a "regulated"
environment (such as the Pharmaceautical).
It is impossible to divide responsibilities on Items, BOMs,...

Probably, using the new E-Signature & E-Security modules you could manage
otherwise.

Good Day
Although we are on Release 4.05 CD, the question is a generic MRP II
question:
Which department(s) has ownership over the Item Master File ?
With BPCS, many different departments have a vested interest in the accuracy
of
specific fields. How does YOUR organization handle who does the actual
Maintenance of the Item Master, Bills of Material, Routings, ......
We circulate a " Form " to various departments so that they manually write
down the values of "their" fields. Eventually, the form gets to the desk of
one person who actually keys the data into BPCS.
"Sometimes" this takes longer than we wish !!

Thanks,
