Re: Shop Order Allocation issues -- BPCS-L

I'm on 405 CD so some options may be a bit different.

1. Check your system parameters (SYS800). They setup some global rulesthat apply to all items all facilities all shop orders etc. with respect tosuch things as issuing substitute material, allocations etc.

2. Check all the fields of Item Maintenance (INV100) where you can setupexceptions from the SYS800 rules for some items. Similarly item byfacility planning (MRP140).

3. Check security on who can change shop orders (SFC540). When a shoporder is released, it has engineering that is a copy of MBM & FRT & etc.data, and labor reporting can only be in concert with what is in that shoporder, whether SFC600 JIT600 INV500, but then someone can change the shoporder to a different set of requirements, which can then be reported,provided their security lets them into SFC540.

4. Check your site's modifications that might offer paths to this data inaddition to the official ones. For example, we have modification tore-open a closed shop order.

5. After the fact, you might want to have a report showing which parentitems had materials consumed against them in labor reporting (ITH CI) thatdisagree with the components of official BOM (MBM file).

6, Check if your company has a set of guidelines regarding process forauthorizng substitutions (ISO). For example, we can go to a customer & saythat we are running low on some component, that there will be X weeks delaywhile waiting on replenishment. Do we have customer approval to substitutethis other component that has exactly same characteristics, except it ismore expensive for the customer.

Hi,

I'm using BPCS 6.1.02.

Anybody know how to setup at BPCS for two requirements like this:
--> User can't issue material which isn't identified at Shop Order.
--> For items have No Allocation Required at Facility Planning Data, user
doesn't need run Shop Order Allocation.

Thanks for help.
