Generating PO Suggestions

Vantage 8.03.408

I agree with Rob that there are a number of variables to consider.

We are a small company and my settings are scheduled to run a "Regen" at 4:00 AM and then I run a "Net Change" at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The Buyer doesn't need to worry about running it, but also has the option if they are aware of new items creating demand and they don't want to wait for the next scheduled run.

At my previous employer, which was much larger, my schedule was basically the same, but I added a second run in the AM and a second run in the PM.

Either way, schedule it as a process so the Buyer doesn't need to worry about it.

I think it depends on your operation how often you really need to run the process.

I often see people just schedule the generate PO suggestion process.
Daily over lunchtime or in evening.
In these cases the purchasing agents don't need to worry about it.

We run it once or twice a day (net change) usually early in the morning and sometimes over lunch. It all really depends what you're doing for a cutoff date and how big your item master is.. lots of variables to cover there... for us it's not a very intensive activity where they are looking out 3 months on average. Do you have a ton of demand in your system and are looking out a long distance?

When and how often should a purchaser run the "Generate Suggestions" program? I've noticed it likes to consume a lot of resources, i.e., 5-10 apps servers.
