Re: JBA's MPS/MRP

[lorena_frausto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I  checked on this setting and we have it set to '2' already. I was hoping
that was it , but no luck. So there must be a bug in V3.5.2b because this
was not happening when we were running on V.3.5.0. This problem arose when
we went to V3.5.2b.



Thanks for your input!!

There is a setting in the second screen of the Mfg Company Profile called
'Quantity Per Basis' which can be set to:
        1=Per 1, or
        2=Per std lot size
I suspect that the problem is that you have this set to 1, per each, in
which case the component's usage should be 1 and not 1,118.  If you change
this setting to a '2', then MPS should take the 1,118 per of the component
as the required quantity per 1,118 of the parent.

The recent users I have worked with have all used '1' Per Each so, if you
have this field already set to a '2', you have a BUG.
