subject: [SYSTEM21]   How do you handle capacity in MRP.

1. We have parts that due to demand require more than 1 identical tool.
Example: A molded plastic part BOM says it can create 1000 parts in a day
over three shifts. Orders require 2500 a day so 2 identical tools are built.
All three run in there own work station. How do we get system 21 to work
using additional tool(s) to meet scheduled demand.

 

Thank you

Randy Rosebrock

subject: [SYSTEM21]   Please help - purging of AR/AP/GL/CS

Hi All,

I am new to System21 and have been given the task to run the Financial 
purging on our test box.   Part of my plan was to write/run queries to 
estimate the number of records eligible for deletion [per file] (using the 
criteria provided in the System21 help files -- i.e. 0 balance etc).  The 
results from the queries were spot on for some of the files, but way off 
the mark for others. 

I guess I could go through the logic of the purge programs, but thought 
there might be documentation explaining the workings in a bit more detail 
than found in the system21 help files (thus not duplicating the effort).

subject: [SYSTEM21]   Printing BOL   

Does anyone know of a way to print a unique message for each Transport
Center on the BOL? We are currently using the default commodity code in
Transport planning to print on the BOL. I need another field to work this
way. The max length of the message is 8 characters. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

I bet you are getting a recommendation from MRP saying
you need 2500 of the item using the planning route. If
this is a situation that will be ongoing, I suggest
that you create 2 additional alternative routings for
the item each containing the appropriate work center
then create work orders specifying route to use. 

A former JBA consultant also suggested that a negative
number in the queue time field for the operation had
the effect of creating concurrent operations. I have
not tried this myself but getting concurrent
operations to work would be the slicker approach.
