Dale, This process is described in the MRP manual and the function offers some amount of flexability. It is a matter of setting the codes in the warehouse master to define if the warehouse is a demand or supplying location. If a warehouse is a demand location then it can be linked to a planning warehouse. MRP will see the inventory and the demand from the demand warehouse and combine it with the planning warehouse.

Go to IM, (7) File Maintenance, (12) Work with Warehouses. You can set your planning parameters there. I have a lot of experience with this, and Jeff Snyder (who also participates in this thread) is better than me at it.

What warehouse master settings would need to be changed to accomplish this? Point me in the right direction and I'll stick my nose in the manual for awhile.

This allows you to let MRP to see the requirements from the demand warehouse and include it with the production warehouse rquirements and create a complete MRP material plan. Gary Sutton -----Original Message----- From: mapics-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mapics-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Walker, Dale Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 2:16 PM To: MAPICS ERP System Discussion Subject: MRP Requirements I am attempting to find a quick solution to our spare parts assembly needs and am seeking advice. Our spare parts warehouse (4) and production warehouse (1) are separate. MRP runs in the production warehouse; not in the parts warehouse. We want to cut MOs in production to build assemblies for spare parts. Here is the plan being considered: * Establish safety stock levels for the top "X" number of higher volume parts assemblies in the spare parts WH. * Run a nightly job that will create MRP demand in the production WH for spare part assemblies if the safety stock level is infringed upon. o These release exception messages could all appear under a specific planner so that they are centrally managed by the production control team What are some other alternatives that we should consider? Is the "REQMTS" file the MRP file that we need to populate to initiate the demand for spare parts items? Are there ways to configure the warehouse masters to accomplish this in a more efficient or standardized way? Other comments or ideas?
