Is there a guide/tutorial on the various planning methods? Specifically, using MS1 with appropriate time fences for purchased finished goods, with lead times, minimum/multiple lot sized and variable demands. Looking to target purchases to the demand plan / forecast (highly variable and seasonal). The current problem: planning method “A” generates purchase requisitions, but will revert to MS supply lines only if any of the lot sizes are set to any non-zero quantity? Currently IFSAPP8, upgrading to 9 soon.
Still having zero luck achieving the following (for IFS apps 8):generating purchase requisitions (NOT MS Supply lines, actual requisitions) based on ALL of the following:MS Unconsumed forecastsSafety StockMin/max/multiple lot sizesLead times As soon as any min/max/multiple are set, requisitions revert to MS Supply lines on MS level 1 run.MRP will use min/max/multiple and safety stock to generate requisitions but will ignore forecast and only plan on actual demand.
Having an issue with Planning method A - for purchased finished good. Using MS Level 1 - but if I set Min/Max/Multiple lot sizes to anything other than zero, Purchase req’s go away and get MS Supply lines instead. Also, I am using planning time fence as a surrogate for purchasing lead time, which doesn’t seem to have any functionality. How do you specify whether MS1 or MRP is doing the planning?This is all in IFS 8 (upgrading to IFS 9 soon I believe).
