Hi,

Is there a way of running the “calculate MS level 1” in a smart way.

We have multiple sites and we are distrubuting slaes parts betwen them all.

To get the drive thrue the system now i need to run them all two times.

Sie 1

Site 2

Site 3

Site 4 and then again

Site 1

Site 2 etc

So All sites has shared Theres needs to each other.

We hare sending parts from site 1 to site 2 and 3 and we are sending parts from site 2 to 1 etc.

Is this the right way or?

 

(I posted the same question in bying as well, no respons there)

Hi,

Unfortunately MS does not have the same capability as Planning Network MRP, where you can kick of one job and MRP plans the parts in the network, using an internal low level code. Planning Netowork MRP finds out in which order to execute the parts, for example, it realizes that part X from the demand site D should be processed prior part X from the supply site S.

So yes, you have to do this boring job

But actually I think we (IFS) should be able to execute the Level 1 Calculation in MS, using Planning Network (in same way as in MRP). Since I know the code here, it is not a big deal. So I think it is very good candidate for future enhancements in Master Scheduling, even though I can’t promise anything.
