RE: help with Finite Forward Scheduling -- BPCS-L

Mitch,

BPCS logic is that a FPO represents the planner's statement of taking
control of the planning scenario from that point back in to the current
date. BPCS will plan outside the date of the FPO and it will give you
messages to Expedite (as you see) or to Deexpedite or Cancel, etc.

As your on hand, demand, and FPO currently stand and if my calculations are
correct; you will not see BPCS plan anything else until you show demand in
excess of 487 more pieces.

Hope that is helpful on the planning side. As to Finite Forward it has been
too long. I am curious as to what release you are running.

Thank you,


McK King

Why wouldn't it plan a new order in before the F.P.O. date?  What is the
logic behind that, since it obviously doesn't follow the rules for horizon
dating?

Hi,

As I know, BPCS doesn't plan you new order, if you have already one, which
would cover the demand. You need to expedite the FPO as BPCS reccommends.
Then, when you run MRP again, BPCS would plan you a new order for a later
period.

On the screen print below you can see that BPCS is not planning an order to
cover a customer shipment.  I believe that this is a result of the F.P.O.
that is being recommended for expediting, is there a setting that will
cause the planning calculation to ignore this or get this demand in to
Finite Forward Scheduling?
