RE: MRP640

We are on 6.04 Mixed Mode

We recently looked into trying to use the MRP640 and it looks like it has a
lot of nice features for the planner.  However, we found a couple of issues:

If you open a shop order in MRP640, and then change the quantity on the shop
order.  The component quantity required is incorrect.  This was a major
problem with our process - as we are apt to change quantities of shop
orders.  We are waiting on an A priority BMR 59609 to correct this.

There are also times if you enter the MRP640 and if you back out and try and
go back in a second time it creates a facility lock.  SSA could not
duplicate this issue.

Hi all

Is anybody out there using MRP640 (Finite scheduling) in either a
production line, or preferably a jobbing shop type environment. If so
what limitations have you found.
