MRP Components not showing up in messages to order more

[BHERRIES]

I am trying to figure out how to get your component messages to advise on ordering more components (i.e. purchase orders). What has to be setup to make this work? I get messages for finished goods work orders and I have generated them (w/o's), but still no components. All I ever get is messages to defer parts list. Any help out there ????

I think your comment regarding messages to defer the parts list may be a
clue for you. It tells me that whatever is driving MRP for you, sales
orders or forecasts, is not causing enough demand for your work orders. It
is suggesting that the orders be moved out and because of purchase component
lead time, it may not be generating any messages.



Is MRP a new application for you, or is this a problem that has just
started? If this is a new application for you, I would suggest that you run
the bill of material integrity report to ensure that your low level codes
are correct. I would make sure the supply demand inclusion rules are
correct for the work order and sales order statuses you are using.



You mentioned that you generated the work order. Did you see if there are
components? Are the bills of material active - that is do they have a valid
effective from and to dates? What are the stock types for the parent and
components? Are they included in your MRP data selection? Other things to
look at beyond the stock type are the issue type codes. If they are a bulk
issue type and are attached on a work order, there will not be any messages.
Check your order policy code to make sure that they are valid (not an 0).
Check your Planning codes. Are they valid for the MRP generation you
selected? What are your planning fences and message display fences set at?




Did you convert your data or manually enter the Bills of Material? Is the
planning percentage at 100%.

Re: RE: MRP Components not showing up in messages to order more

We are just now trying to get MRP up and running. We've been on JDE World since 1998 and never used it. Yes - our components in question are coded as "bulk". What is the deal with an item coded as bulk and you can't generate reorder messages? The majority of our components (color concentrate, etc.) are coded as bulk and backflush as production is completed. This is not good...

RE: RE: MRP Components not showing up in messages to order more

JDE will plan bulk items, but for planned orders only where the parts list
has not been attached. It assumes that if an item is a bulk item, that the
inventory has been issued to the floor and is stored there and therefore not
required to be planned for the order. Since bulk parts are not issued to a
work order, they made the assumption. It does get people into trouble
sometimes if they have a significant amount of work orders released to the
floor and they haven't consumed the floor inventory.



You should be aware that backflush and bulk are two different animals. If
the intent that the parts are to be backflushed, meaning issued from
inventory (this could be a floor or work center location) when completed,
the parts should not be coded as bulk, but rater as purchased with the issue
type code being backflush on the component and in the bill of material.
