Re: Using ROP , OPC C or B to reorder discretely

Mike,

If you are not using MRP, Standard MAPICS does not support the function 
(reorder exact quantity of negative inventory balance) that you are 
looking for. If you are not using auto release in IM reorder report 
function, then you can define a simple query using ITMPLN and ITEMBL with 
a condition of all items having ORDP = 'B' or 'C' and MOHTQ - MALQT less 
than zero. The output of this query will be the items that need to be 
reordered. MOHTQ - MALQT is the quantity need to be reordered.

                ORDP            -       Order Policy Code in ITMPLN
                MOHTQ   -       Quantity on hand in ITEMBL
                MALQT           -       Manufacturing allocation quantity 
in ITEMBL

Hope this helps you.

Regards, Selva

Using ROP , OPC C or B to reorder discretely






The objective is to use IM reorder report, with items OPC B and or C to
order discretely.  MRP is not used.

The goal is to re-order an item only when there is an allocation driving 
the
on-hand balance negative.  The closest I have been able to come with 
MAPICS
settings, is to set the OPC code to C and the Fixed Order Quantity to 
.001.
When the on-hand balance goes negative, the reorder reports calculates a
re-order quantity of the value of the negative on-hand balance +.001.

The questions:  Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to 
configure
items using OPC B or C to reorder the exact quantity of the negative
balance?  Is there a third party product which will do discrete 
re-ordering?
Does someone have code modifications for MAPICS ROP logic.

In advance, thanks
