Re: Manufacturing Std Lot Size

I know this is extraordinarily late, but I didn't see that you got a
response. If this is still an issue I suggest you check the policies in
screen 2 of the manufacturing item master. I suspect that what is there is
not what you really want.  We MPS intermediates in multilevel BOM's and do
not have this problem at all.

Let me know if any additional suggestions are desired.

Best,

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
