RE: Stock Pick List not considering MFG Subassembly Allocations

"Hi Peter,

You'll need to clarify what it is they are trying to do.  If I have a
customer order due today, that should take precedence over a mfg order due
to start tomorrow.

If this is not the logic they are trying to do, nothing in MAPICS will
assist.  MAPICS works on priority dates.

If the dates don't work, then you will have to have separate warehouses 
for
sales and manufacturing.

/===================================/

They want the stock pick list to look at mfg allocations ('AL' and 'PG') 
as well as sales orders (CMH).  They want the auto allocation program to 
look at the MRP item requirements inquiry, which is in due date order. For 
example, if we have an item number with 10 on hand, and there is a mfg 
allocation for 10 pieces that is due before a sales order allocation, they 
do not want us to auto allocate the sales order and produce the pick.
