Manufacturing Std Lot Size

["Kenneth Lopez" <Kenneth@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We're using JBA v3.5.2b and we're having a problem with MPS.

The routes for our finished goods consists of multil-level BOM's, i.e. we can 
have one route for the finished good and another for the intermediate item 
which is in the BOM for the finished good and this could go on for another 4 
more levels.
Our standard lot size for each route varies according to the item produced.  In 
the finished item BOM, we say that one piece of the intermediate item is 
required to produce one piece of the finished item.

The problem comes when we run MPS to suggest works orders.  In our situation, 
MPS would suggest the correct quantity to be produced for the finished item but 
when it comes to the intermediate item, it takes the works order quantity for 
the finished good and multiplies it by the standard lot size of the 
intermediate item to get the works order quantity for the intermediate item.

e.g.  Works order quantity for the finished item is 100.
        Finished Item A - standard lot size is 100
        Intermediate Item AA - standard lot size is 100

MPS would suggest two works orders:
 W000001 for finished item A with a quantity of 100
 W000002 for intermediate item with a quantity of 10000

Has anyone experienced this elsewhere.

Ken
