Charley,

How I would do that is assign a planner number that's "out of range" for the "Special assemblies". Then it would work as you'd want, but it wouldn't show on the planner's MRP reports. FFT actually does that for a number of items, and the process works well. The special assembly planner numbers are just delivered to someone different (me for a while, then to another special planner, just for review).

Nothing special being done with the process, it just flows through the system normally, but since the planners that release orders to the floor don't get the part on their Order Review/Release reports, no one does anything with them. Yes, it's physically possible to release them, but it shouldn't be done. And the components blow right on down through to Purchasing as you would want.

Just a suggestion!

Thanks, Olga.

I re-read my post and I was not fully lucid in my mental scratchings.

I do, in fact, want the planning BOM to drive the material through MRP (and we will buy it; this is an attempt to support Cameleon); I just don't want anyone to be able to open a CO or MO for the "special" assemblies.

That help?

Charley,
What about creating a "mock" warehouse that is not a planned warehouse so MRP does not include the items. Just a thought.

Hello list!

This may sound a wee bit goofy, but here goes...

I need to do some aggregated material planning utilizing a planning
BOM approach. I want to create the planning BOMs and use assembly
items created especially for this planning exercise; I do not want
these assembly items to accidentally get put on a customer order nor
on a manufacturing order. If I suspend the Item Warehouse records for
these "special" assembly items, will MRP still plan them? I believe
the answer is 'Yes' but I thought I'd check.

Thanks!
