2. MRP100 Date V405CD (Al)

Al



BPCS will plan for the components, it will give you msgs to let you know
that you have lead time violations, but it will let you know what your
requirements are. If you have components with long lead times and you don't
have 'real' orders out far enough to drive your planning, you need to
forecast out far enough to allow for adequate lead time days to get these
components in house in time for production.



When you populate KMR (MRP100), the start date for each period is the day
you will see in MRP as your due date.



Eg. Weekly forecasts (start date = 09/20/09 - 09/26/09) will generate a
planned order for the entire week's requirements all due on the start date
from the record (09/20/09).

subject: [BPCS-L] MRP100 Date V405CD







Let's suppose our MRP planning date is Monday 9-14, and we enter a customer

order due 9-14, there will be sub-assemblies that MRP will not plan, because

the due dates to fulfill those components, due to lead times etc. would make

them historically prior to the planning date, and MRP does not plan stuff

that is in the past. We always need to know about customer orders with

sufficient time in advance to cover lead times for all components of those

orders.



Is this also true for MRP100 forecasts?



Let's suppose we enter a requirement in MRP100 for item A715XYX whose

aggregate lead times for all components are 65 days, for MRP to plan all of

those components, do we need to enter a start date that is 65+ days ahead of

our planning date of 9-14? Or, is it sufficient that the start date is 9-14

or later, and the end date is 65+ days ahead of our planning date?



What are the different functions of start and end dates of MRP100?
