Re: JBA Order Policies

I recall that, for one of my clients (on 3.5.1 or 3.5.2), we modified DRP to 
apply multiples when using Policy  "G". The mulitple also acted as a minimum if 
the quantity calculated for the number of days was less than the multiple. I 
don't think that the mod was very complex. It probably took the results of the 
DRP run supply file enteries, applied the multiples, and then updated the 
supply file.

My question pertains to the use of order modifies in JBA DRP.  We are on 
JBA version 3.5.1 and attempting to use order policy "G" number of days of 
supply.  After DRP completes the netting process and creates planned 
orders, we want to modify these orders using order modifiers such as 
multiples order quantity, minimum order quantities or max order quantity. 

What we are finding in our testing is that in order policy "G," the order 
modifiers do not function.  This renders this powerful DRP planning tool 
useless and we have to revert to manual manipulation.

Has anyone developed a work around for this or a creative solution?

Thanks for your help.
