I've followed your post and Mark's responses. Here is something else to
consider.
Is your "order policy code" on the item branch Mfg values screen set to 1
(lot for lot)? If so, try resetting it to 4 (periods of supply) and set
the next data field (value order policy) to the number of additional days
of supply you want the system to plan after it encounters demand. I've
found that the OPC=4 effectively shuts off the "reduce' messages.

I have spent 2 days searching past posts and have not found an answer to
this. I apologise if I missed it. Here is my question: We are part of a
chemical company so we deal with job order type (batches). On many
occasions the planner releases WO's greater than actual demand. The
planner expects MRP to request buyers to order components and raw
materials. Instead, MRP generates warning messages requesting the planner
to reduce the Qty of the WO and it (MRP) expects the planner to take it's
suggestion and therefore not bother generate an "O" message to order the
components (WHY IS THAT?). Is there a way to have MRP generate "O"
message along with the "A" message without having to freeze each WO since
we like to keep our schedule flexible till the last minute.
Thanks
