Re: Avoid replinishment of component items

Hi Mahesh,
   
  If our understanding of your question is right,the following are some of the 
solutions.
   
   
  1) Remove not required items from BOM.
  2) Make the item as a Phantom Item.
  3) Transfer the stock from the non nettable whse to nettable whse,so that the 
stock will be considered for MPS/MRP.
  4) Temperorly make the whse nettable till stock exhaust.

  We have some "dummy" warehouses for special types of items.
* QC problem, customer returns, need inspection ... some of this involves 
sub-assemblies and completed items, that we may try to dismantle
* Materials used seasonally, not want them eating factory space in off-season
* Materials we bought for customer parts we no longer making, so they are 
in one place until we find buyer for this excess.

In all these cases, this inventory is in a warehouse that is non-nettable, 
non-allocatable from an MPS/MRP perspective. Until its situation is 
resolved, we have the $ totals on our accounting books, but not 
contaminating continuing production.

We are in the process of scrapping few excess components (manufactured and 
purchased excess) in the inventory and those are not required in the near 
future and also, we do not want to make those items status inactive 
because of internal issues. I would like to know how we can avoid 
replinishment for these components when MRP/MPS is run because of wrong 
forecast for its parent item. is it possible to avoid replinishment by 
using new item type code with manufacturing flag set to 0 (Zero). we are 
using BPCS version 6.0.02.

Your help is appreciated.
