Re: EPDM and MRP

Thanks to all that responded - I found the program that does the effectivity checking at the component level and can see what it is doing.

Plus, I was finally able to get onto the website (they seemed to be having a problem earlier today) and it stated what Peter and Kevin had posted (though not as eloquently as both of you).

Eric,

MRP looks at the Item Revision Effective Date, then uses the corresponding
Item Process to determine which BOM and Routing to use during the MRP run.

If there are overlapping Item Revisions (i.e. the date ranges of the
effective in to the effective out fields cover the same dates) then MRP
looks for the Item Process marked "Primary".

If no primary process is identified, then MRP looks at the latest
overlapping start date.

HOWEVER, be aware that releasing an order from IM (not from MRP) does the
opposite and uses the earliest overlapping start date.

Hope this helps.

To the list,
Does MRP look at effective dates on an EPDM PSTDTL records before it
determines if the item needs to be built or purchased?

Thanks...
