RE: Locking Vendor Schedules in VS -- SYSTEM21

I would endorse what Michelle is saying. We actuall called our code 11V and
then flagged all our Vendor Scheduled items with a V in the MRP Filter field
in 3/MDM. The Infobase help text says that the filter should not allow MRP
to suggest increases or decreases to P.Orders and also not to reshedule the
order in or out. It suggests that you only allow MRP to suggest
cancellations of the order, but you have an option not to allow this to
happen as well.

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
