Re: QMS with JIT

Eduardo ... We use QMS and JIT in 4.05, nonCD, and it works very well.  I 
am far from an expert in QMS, except to know that there is an awful lot of 
set up involved.  The one thing I didn't see you mention was loading a 
default manufacturer for a manufactured item (it's stored in the IIM file, 
but I don't know if you load it through item master maintenance, or 
through QMS).  I don't know if that's required, but I do know that all of 
our manufactured items have one!  (We have multiple facilities, so created 
a manufacturer Q01, for facility 01, Q02, for facility 02, etc.  Not sure 
what happens if you manufacture the same item at multiple locations ... 
that doesn't normally happen for us.)

We're actually trying to solve a related problem right now, where we have 
some facilities that don't want to use QMS, but, since the QMS flag is 
turned on, it's forcing them to load the specs, even though they don't use 
them.  Haven't quite found the right work around for that.

Hi all,

 

Does someone know if QMS works with JIT? Or for that matter, how does it
work?... we tried to run it in our test environment but it didn't work,
these were the steps we followed:

 

*                We setup the item so it could work for QMS.
*                Then we went to MRP510 (MRP Maintenance) to create firm 
planned
orders.
*                JIT540 (Production Release) to create the production 
plan.
*                JIT550 (Shop Floor Control) to create shop packets and 
production
orders.
*                JIT600 (Production Reporting) to report the production. 
This is
where we have the problem because in this option BPCS does not allow us to
enter the manufacturer, which is necessary for creating QMS tests.
*                JIT600 to release production (F14).

 

Do we need to setup some system parameters/flags? Or do we need to do it 
in
a different way?.. any help will be very appreciated. 

 

Thank you,
