Re: No planned production order for certain items

["Kevin Harper" <kharper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

I hope these questions are helpful at determining the issue....

- Is there demand for the parent item(s) ?
- Is the parent item demand showing up in MRP maintenance?
- Are these items within their effectivity date range on the BOM ?
- Are these items using a method code on the BOM (other than blank) ?
- In Facility Planning, what is the Requirements Code ? (should be D or S or
blank)
