How do you execute ‘MS’. What is the name of the IFS page to perform this high-level task. I take it that’s not referring to a standard MRP run for the site. Many thanks,jay
IFS EE
That solution doesn’t work. Adjusting the work center’s efficiency (to 200%) creates a resource overload!I presume the desired outcome is to divide the run rate by a factor of 2 for any/all parts routed to said work center. I tried that before posting here - to no luck
For instance, is pegging required or DOP in order for the relations to be drawn?
ahh, okay. Apps 10 is our version of IFS. That field appears in the location you said (Work Center - Header) but that box is grayed out. Much like how some information fields simply cannot be edited in the window a user’s in (i.e planner code in ‘Shop Order’).
Hi Shawn, I've completed both of the pre-requisites. There are no open works orders routed to the work centre in question, and the part catalogue has been cleansed with no active/buildable Inventory Parts routed there. How do I render the work centre inactive, exactly? When I select the field, I'm not provided with a means to zoom of (a button on the right). When I right click, I do, however, receive options to 'Block' or 'Hide'. Is this what is meant here? Many thanks, Jay
Hi Bjorn, “> 100 indicates it has higher priority than normal. An Adjustment Factor < 100 indicates it will be prioritized lower than a shop order without any priority category” How can I, in practical terms, alter the priority category for a given shop order? For example, I plugged ‘110’ in the relevant field and received an error message (see below). Same if I input a number with the greater than symbol. What are the ‘valid’ inputs narrowly defined by IFS (I presume)? Many thanks, Jay
You suggested that DOP is necessary for the requested scheduling but this page indicates it’s incompatible with pMRP:
Hi Shawn, It is a simple aim, by way of the scheduling logic that needs to occur. Indeed within SAP and Oracle (the standard models of ERP) this isn’t an especially complicated request to execute with ‘out-of-the-box’ tools. If DOP is the necessary feature, thanks for flagging this up. I shall pursue this in further detail.
Thanks guys, I agree that planning can be quite situational. I didn’t help that at the time of writing the post, I was fairly inexperienced with IFS. I have learned a lot since then and can spot which concerns I raised are false starts. In any case, you’ve provided a lot of ideas to explore Saman, thanks again. Jay
“I guess ‘stock planning’ means next level demand, order up to planning or reorder point mechanisms” By stock planning tools, I meant all the features out of the box. So, having fully exploited those, what distinct benefits does pMRP offer? I wasn’t referring to specific techniques as such. My fault for not clarifying, sorry :) “There is no netting process”. That can’t be true. MRP (‘Main Process’) has this task within it’s remit. Such that, for a given project, if there is a scheduled receipt or stock on hand for a component (not reserved) a requisition would not be generated. So, at least a basic form of netting occurs. ….”thereby planning time-phased supplies to cover the entire demand supply need of all parts in the site”… I believe MRP (again, ‘Main Process’) can also do that. Provided the basic lead time calculation is valid and the Required Date for the demand at the top-level is in the future, time phasing works. The output, i.e. dates given under ‘Infinite Schedule
Hi Saman, This is a really lucid and detailed explanation that cuts to the heart of my confusion. I cannot thank you enough. Regards, Jay
Hi, It’s a specific field attached to supply items i.e. works orders, whether raised by MRP (through a requisition) or manually. How are they calculated? Can CBS (APB) change them, or does in only take them into account for backwards scheduling? what if the Need Date for the supply of a part is in the past, how does APB handle these objects? These questions are general precisely because it’s a black box in terms of how it figures in offsetting and subsequent scheduling under APB constraints. I need some rough outline. man thanks, Jay
