Hi,

 

We are trying to automate our planners tasks for the start of the day and to use a task chain for the repeatable actions:

  1. calc ms lev 1
  2. run mrp
  3. automatic shop order processing

This runs but we don't get any requisitions created for the current day. When we re-run MRP manually we get the SO requisitions as expected.  We are on Apps 8 (moving to Cloud) and have spread the tasks out so they don't overlap and run at the same time.

 

We are not sure why auto vs manual running would result in a different result - any ideas?

 

Thanks for any help and considering,

 

Regards,

James

Hi James,

 

There shouldn’t be any difference in functional behavior of Manual MRP action and Automated action scheduled via a scheduled task.

What we can check here is when the system performs automatically, the MRP run is really happening after the MS Level 1 calculation or not.

Sometimes you are already having this in Apps8, in cloud scheduled task for MS Level 1 calculation we can set automatic MRP execution after the MS level 1 calculation so the tasks will not interrupt or may not interfere each other when they are executing in a sequence.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Lakshan,

 

Yes, it look like we get the solution to run this process flow in Cloud.
