Re: Measurement Master -- MAPICS-L

Mike, we wrote a handful of reports that we used, we didn't find MPA to be
an effective tool for us. The ONLY XA application we have that I can say
that about.

We use MPA. It's a very good tool to measure your production environment.
Infor/Mapics has not given us a better tool yet and they don't pay much
attention to the users.
Forget EIS if anyone suggests it. #1 it does not work and no one at Infor
knows why #2 if it did there are few meaningful measurements. Very
disappointed

I am curious how others measure your production plan vs. actual, past due
orders, BOM accuracy etc.

Hi List!

How I can update this file? Is this from EPDM? There is nothing
available in the INFOR Knowledge base about this.

Looks like the component availability check is promised as a future

"The Mfg Auto Release code on the Item Balance Planning Information
screen provides three options:
0 - Do not release
1 - Release only if all components are available (This option not
currently active - It will be activated by a future Enhancement SH)
2 - Release"

do (except we run MRP 2x a week, not daily). And it is VERY

<mapics-l@midrang

Hello Group,

Every day after running MRP we release manufacturing orders manually.
Work
sequence is as follows. We request a exception report. Check item by
item
for required material. Next step is review and aprove item by item. We
only
want to release orders if the required material is available. You can
imagine that this is very time consuming. Maybe we should try MRP menu
"Check item Availability Prior to Release".

We use Mapics XA release 6, with browser. We have a controlled
warehouse.

Solution:
Looking at field "Manufacture auto release code", you can set this on
position 1. Setting "1=Auto release M.O. if all components are
available".
My expectation is that orders will be automaticaly released when all
needed
components are there, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any suggestions?? You cannot find the above descibed functionality in
the
manual (at least I didn't).

regards,

Well, bad luck for me. Due to the fact that none of our locations use
the Manufacturing Performance Analysis (MPA) module they cannot give me
more information other than saying that this file is in use by this
application. No explanations were given to me even about the fact that
the file was in use by EPDM and how is used there...

Is incredible.

Thanks all anyway for your help.

Dale, that is a true statement. I am not sure if it is just that the lady
is having a bad day or what but is the first time in my whole 15 years of
experience using MAPICS that somebody in tech support answers me like
that.

welcome to INFOR. I have insight think of a world wide multi billion$ firm
in indiana is ready to switch to SAP @ all locals due in part to the INFOR
marketing technique + sales shorts in programming. Anybody can make
anything in
China. They world does not need INFOR, but INFOR is not of this world. Hope
INFOR was not an IPO or hostile takeover,,,,,mortgages are in danger....
