Re: BPCS-L Digest, Vol 4, Issue 77

Hi Peter

We run MRP500 / MRP600 for multiple facilities daily (and some weekly) via a
inhouse written submission routine. Contact me offline if you want advice
for that.

Another quicker way is to create MRP only profiles and amend their default
jobq queue to a new "night queue" which is always on hold.

Next, have a scheduled job release that queue at the required time (01:00
hours ?) and submit a job at the bottom of the jobq to place it back on
hold.

Let users (one in each facility !) submit their own mrp/mps jobs.

Cheers

subject: [BPCS-L] Schedule MRP600C  /  Facility security

Hello,

We are on BPCS 8.2.01

We run MRP600C every day. Before we start he job, we *HLD our 
jobqueue,submit multiple jobs with different parameters, change the 
schedule parameters and *RLS the jobqueue again. It is a is a cumbersome 
work around.
We also have multiple facilities who run MRP. We would also like to secure 
the facility selection, which is not a standard bpcs security setting.

We think about starting the MRP from a tailor made program, were we check 
facility security and submit the MRP600C as a scheduled job.
Is anyone of you familiar with this solution ? 
If so, what parameters do we have to use for the call to MRP600C

Kind regards,

Peter Heeren
