Normally, we have end of life demand till year of 2050, which are not taken these demand into consideration by MRP calculation. We only want to take 365 days for daily MRP run. So where can we set up these time frame? please help advice.
Thanks

Hi,
So if your forecast demand is expressed as Customer Orders with an Order No ‘EOF*****’, you could try un-ticking the ‘Release for Mtrl Planning’ check box for any customer order lines which have delivery dates after 12 months from now. This will effectively remove the demands from MRP.
It is not possible to set an MRP Horizon Date in IFS Applications 9 or IFS Applications 10.
The MRP Horizon Date functionality was introduced into IFS Cloud 22R1 (the latest version) as part of on-going product development and enhancement.
In terms of an alternative solution in IFS Applications 10, can you confirm what the ‘end of life demands until 2050’ actually are? In other words, are these forecast demands, customer orders, etc?
Depending on the details and the business requirements, it may be possible to adjust some of these demands so that they are not considered by MRP.
The purpose of ‘End of life’ demand put the year as 2050 is to have discrepancy from the normal forecast which cover 18months, it also for us to reserve raw material for ‘end of life’ demand before doing scrap raw material. The ‘end of life’ demand is set up as forecast requirement but the Customer No start as specify name as EOF******.
So it is possible to take these kind of forecast demand out if we want to expedite MRP run time?
