Re: [SYSTEM21] MRP process on the Style module

[GREGORY WIECZOREK <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome the the list.

I do not have a style system to look at and I could
not find a flag that would cause an item's frozen
quantity to be excluded from the available calculation
in base S21. I am not convinced that excluding the
frozen quantity from the calculation would be a good
idea in any case. 

I think the best way to really fix the problem is to
correct the inventory quantities. Accurate inventory
quantities are critical to a successful MRP solution.
I suggest you write a query that selects the items
with frozen quantity exceeding the physical quantity
then cycle count the items making the appropriate
inventory adjustments. There could be cases where only
the frozen quantity needs to be adjusted, others where
the physical quantity needs to be adjusted.
