Subject: MPSP production family re-distribution / decimals


Hello all,

First-time-ever contribution to the forum, with a burning user-question :

When distributing new family production objectives in MPSP, Mapics only
seems to distribute across the individual items of the family if their
respective percentage of that family is higher than 1 pct.  In case the
share of the item in the family is less than 1 pct, Mapics seems to work
with 0 pct only (no decimals), and does not attribute any quantity to that
individual item.

Typically we have families with about 100 items, of which the first 10 have
high percentage share in the total group, but of which the last 40 or so are
less than 1 pct.  When re-distributing new objectives, Mapics does not
allocate any qty to these last 40 items or so.  As such, raising the family
objective with 1000 for instance, can lead to a total re-distributed qty of
only 600 if you add up all the individual numbers ....

any views anyone ? thanks in advance
Christof Vanbossel
