Re: JBA Order Policies

Thank you for your input.  Do you have the contact information for a user 
on version 3.5.1 of JBA that is using DRP with this modification?  I would 
like to discuss with them any issues they have seen.

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.
