<dcavaiani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> subject: [BPCS-L] New Purchasing Manager question>

Greetings - we have a new Purchasing Manager asking the following

question:> > "How does one set up order periods within BPCS"? For example, we
would like to set up our inventory into ABC codes (not the Cycle Count codes)
in which "A" items would turn once per week, "B" items turn twice per month
and "C" items turn once per month. In this example, we would like MRP to
suggest planned orders in the way described above in which an planned order
would suggest an order period of five days, "B" item 10 days and "C" item 20
days">

Has anyone out there asked/analyzed this same question?> > THANKS!> > > Don
