Re: Re-supply Orders

[Alister Wm Macintyre <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are on BPCS 405 CD MM and use Resupply Orders in a highly modified reality.

Our rules for what items are for outside customers, to or from outside 
vendors, transferred between facilities via resupply orders, this is 
defined through item type, item class, buyer code, as populated in item 
master and CIC item planning by facility.

We have some programs we run nitely, that changes the default settings in 
several files associated with MRP etc. from the forced warehouse on the 
item master to the warehouse that is correct according to our rules, based 
on item type etc.  We also have a similar modification embedded in the 
labor ticket input stream, to substitute where inventory gets consumed, 
according to our rules, instead of BPCS defaults.  This way the users do 
not have to overrule a darn thing, except when they are doing work outside 
of our normal cycle of operations.
