Re: MRP and MLI

Kevin, here are some thoughts from our Senior Consultant Jim Simunek:

If you are not using MPSP, the only way to get a customer order to be
recognized by MRP as a requirement is to:
Set the Master Level Item Code (MLI) = M (Multiple sources of
requirements) Set the Plan Customer Order Code to 1, 2, 3 or 5

Plan customer order codes:
1 - All CO's after MRP current date
2 - All CO's after MRP Release date
3 - All CO's after MRP Review date
4 - No CO's
5 - All CO's after MRP Start date

Correct.

Unless an item is MLI, the Plan Customer Orders flag (0,1,2,3,4, 5) will
not
cause the system to generate an MRP requirement.  I have orders in the
system that are not MLI items.  MRP does not see these items.

So, I'm informed (I still find it hard to believe I've not realized this
sometime in the past 30 years) that if you want MRP to plan for customer
orders entered into COM (as backlog), you must code the item MLI.

To pass the requirement to MRP without having to review at MLI, is to
use
forecast code 0.

Kevin:

Are you suggesting MAPCIS is not including the customer order demands in
the
summary of all demands for an item?

By all demands I mean inventory policies (safety stock, lot sizing,
etc.) as
well as all independent demands.

All

 

Is it possible that in 30 years I've missed this one:

 

I would like MRP to plan customer orders.  Is it a requirement that the
item
be flagged as MLI?

 

I don't want to have to firm up MLI plan.  I just want customer orders
to
generate MRP requirements.

 

What should the settings be?
