RE: [SYSTEM21] Locking Vendor Schedules in VS

[mmitchell@xxxxxxxxxxx]

O.K. I will try to be as brief as possible...

The filter I am referring to, is defined in Production Definition 
Management, Utilities, Maintain Parameters - System parameters - WTYP. 
These are three character fields, with the last character being the 
"filter code" that will be used on the item's production details field 
labeled "MPS/MRP filter". 
Let's take as  an example, parameter code - 11  Purchase order -  this 
code should have no restrictions remember the last character is the code - 
therefore "blank" is a code.  Create a code - 11A Purchase order (VS) - 
with the restrictions you require, such as no cancellations, then simply 
flag all VS scheduled items that you wish not to be changed, with an A in 
the filter field.
 
Essentially - there are various transactions, such as purchase orders, 
work orders, production schedules and  vendor schedules that can be 
refined using filters.  Refinements such as; no change to quantities or 
dates unless a certain percentage has been exceeded, or falls within a 
specified time frame, or no change at all.  These filter codes affect the 
planning of the item, so if you create a code in WTYP that prevents 
changes to firm orders, and assign that code to a VS item, you prevent 
changes in VS since VS simply pulls from the MPS and/or MRP plan. 

We hated time fences because we have 7 planners releasing schedules as 
needed - plus we wanted to be able to "see" the changes and resulting 
system suggestions in MPS/MRP.  Filters work for us.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or if I can be of assistance 
- it sounds worse than it really is!

We are heavy VS users and I would like to understand what you are 
explaining
here,

we protect our orders by using the MRP timefence and a 4 week cycle on
release so that the Firm VS requirements have all moved inside the MRP
timefence by the next release

Yes. The only way that I am aware of, is by defining a filter and
assigning the code to the item # that you want to control.
There may be other ways - I'd like to see what other users have to say (an
easier way?), so rather than get into detail here, let me know later if
you need more information.

[SYSTEM21]   Locking Vendor Schedules in VS






S21:                 V2.4 SP2.4

Module:             VS

Topic:               Locking Vendor Schedules in VS



Is there a way to lock schedules created in vendor scheduling where JBA
will
not alter specific line. This would be like/similar to the time fence
option
in MRP where you can specify the JBA does not modify or suggest a change
to
existing MRP schedules.



I am looking for a way to stop vendor scheduling from changing a schedule
already made inside of the next 14 days.





Thank you
