Re: MI - multiple issue to shop order

Depending on your requirements for raw material cycle counting, you can allocate a shop order and then use the pick list to pull the allocated items at the time you first release the SO. Then as more raw material is received into inventory, you can allocate remaining items and re-print the pick list and highlight only the items to be picked. Once all material is issued to the SO and the manufacturing process is completed, you can then use the MR transaction, which will backflush all allocated items at once as well as received the finished good / sub assembly item into stock.

I'm not sure what your requirements are, but I've seen this done previously and it certainly cuts down on the number of transactions.

Subject: [BPCS-L] MI - multiple issue to shop order

BPCS version 6.1.02. Does anybody use the MI(multiple issue) transaction
when issuing material to shop orders? We create shop orders in advance
before all material is in stock and then go back into the shop order to
issue the remaining materials when all material comes in. In this scenario
we MI 20 of 30 items to the shop order upon creation. The remaining 10
items are received the next day and we must SI all remaining items because
the shop order doesn't allow MI after it has been created. SI'ing 200 shop
orders a week is very time consuming. Anyone have a solution?

Thanks,

Rob
