Re: FW: MRP, PCC dates -- MAPICS-L

  Mike,

  Let me know if I, Guide can assist you with this project....   We can help
  to define and understand the parameters in Mapics that would get MRP in

Sync with PCC.

   Also, as an added FYI , It's my understanding that Advance Planner uses
  the Routing, facility master files to calc the lead time,  much as PCC and
  does not use the MFG LT field in the item bal file.

    Interesting that you asked that Mike, we are close to the end of a MAJOR
    reworking of our lead times to do just that.  We wrote an application (2
    actually) that calculates the actual lead time from the routings (using
    all
    the scheduling rules for PC&C with work center, routings, lot sizes,
    etc),

and optionally loads the calculated lead time into the ITEMBL record.We

    use backwards scheduling in PC&C, or I'd offer the program to you.

    Our I.E.'s have been working on this VERY closely to help us get this
    correct.  It's turned into a very valuable project, especially to help
    us
    nail down our actual frozen zone for MRP planning.  We hadn't done that
    properly since the late 1980's.

    If you are having trouble with this, I would recommend contacting Guide
    Technologies and asking for Jeff Snyder (he's on this thread also, used
    to
    be an independant consultant).  He is who trained our IE's on how to
    properly define all the parameters - something we had let go for waaaay
    too
    long.  We had people making adjustments to data elements without
    understanding the overall ramifications to everyone else, so we had a
    real
    mess.  They got the data to work for THEIR situations, but messed up
    other
    departments.  Jeff was able to get our people to actually understand
    what
    everything did and how it all tied together.  (And they listened to him!
    Amazing how an outsider is listened to more than their in-house people.)

    Hello Group,
         Does anyone have a solution in place for the correcting the
    difference
    between MRP due dates (lead time based)
         and Routing based date calculations for released orders.
    We are experiencing some operation due dates planned after order due
    dates
    at the time of release.

    We understand that MRP and PCC are disconnected.
    PS We are tailored for forward scheduling.
    Thank you
