Re: MRP-Release orders by container load?

Hi Derrick,
 
Try using Order policy code H with Fix Order Qty and Maximum Qty as 100 for the 
example that you mentioned.
 
Following is the extract from MRP manual (Appendix A).
 
regards,
 
Pradeep
 
Policy Code H-Order Discretely Above a Fixed Quantity

This policy summarizes requirements through time until the fixed quantity is

exceeded. This summarized quantity is then placed as an order on the first day 
that

had a net requirement. The fixed quantity is specified in "FXORQ".

If the maximum lot size is equal to the fixed order quantity, the planned order 
quantity

will equal the fixed order quantity adjusted by any quantity modifiers and 
shrinkage

factor. Multiple orders may be planned on the same date if needed to cover the

requirement. The maximum lot size is in "MAXQ".

Use this policy when the vendor/manufacturer specifies a minimum order quantity.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] MRP-Release orders by container load?



We just finish setting up MRP and we can't seem to figure out how to get
the system to generate suggested release orders by a fixed amount.For
example if I can get 100 apples into a container and MRP makes a
recommendation for 350 apples...we would like to see 3 separate orders
of 100 and 1 order for the balance 50 and not one total PO for 350.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated...

thank you in advance

Regards,
Derrick
