How I did it was to take the output from the daily scheduling application, clear all firm planned orders from MPSP for the planner designated for the end items, and programmatically create firm planned orders for each day's scheduled production. This was done immediately prior to our weekly (or more frequent as required) MPSP/MRP process. Since we generally built to a planned overall schedule for a total number of units, this worked well for us. It wasn't an ideal solution, but was quite effective for us while we were producing that product line. It basically gave us the benefit of maintaining a somewhat flexible daily production schedule and also gave us the benefits of planning all components in MRP (we produced between 80-90% of the components in house). In other words, we integrated a demand planning process at the top end, with a batch ordering process at the lower levels. It actually wasn't that difficult to do. However, having said that, it only worked for us because we were able to maintain a steady level of production at the top level/end item level, and there was a fairly high percentage of common components for that product. I had intended to extend that process to other areas of the company, but the company decided to abandon that product line before I was able to do so.

One is AutoRelease (for EDI) and the other is XA 7.7. What I am trying to do is split the weekly (from AutoRelease) buckets into daily buckets in MRP. Looked through the manuals and they were not any help. Has someone else been able to do this within XA?
