Re: Ensuring Stock Is Allocated to a CO

From what we are seeing in production the "MFG ORDER PER CUSTOMER ORDER"

is a "soft link" that doesn't ensure no other orders can be allocated.
Once the RM is done the link appears to be lost.

What I was hoping is that be selecting "Stock configurations" on the item
balance it would track part and S-Number in IM.

Re: [MAPICS-L] Ensuring Stock Is Allocated to a CO






I don't think (PDM/EPDM) features/options are the solution, at the end
of the day when you do the "RM" transaction the
inventory is controlled by Item number and not by the feature/option.

Maybe you can try with the option "4. MFG ORDER PER CUSTOMER ORDER" when
creating_releasing a Mfg Order, this will create a link between the COM
order and the Mfg Order.

[MAPICS-L] Ensuring Stock Is Allocated to a CO






We mfg to order and in some cases the pack configuration is special for a
specific customer and order. For example we may have a special pallet for


international shipments or pallet height for a specific CO. Since all
orders are for the same part number is there a way to ensure the stock
produced on a specific MO, entered by CO, is allocated only to the
intended order?

We currently have a series of manual processes that are not working well
to accomplish this.

If we cannot get our needs accomplished by other means we are about to
look into features/options as a possible solution (i.e. each configuration


will be a different option). Before we go this route does this sound
reasonable if we stock configurations?
