There is some misunderstanding here, first i know that the Pegging tables has got all links to all sort of demand, but what you asking is something else, rescheduling -Make to Stock- released jobs are based on many factors, one of the main ones is required by date data, and Epicor won’t change this field for any confirmed jobs not only released, but will suggest to you to change it on the planning workbench, so every time your MRP and Global scheduling run these changes will appears there some for changing dates, other for quantities, or to cancel the whole job if the demand disappear for any reason, so if you asking how can we mass change the required by dates to allow the scheduling process to locate them at the relevant space when it run, then as i said you have two choices (DMT, Service Connect), for us i have developed -with SC specialist- a service connect workflow with 21 custom rules that suit our environment to do this task for us taking the new required by dates from the pegging tables as you mentioned.
@A.Baeisa
Thank you for the reply again.
I am interested in hearing how your solution ‘calculates’ the Job Required by Date.
When I use MRP and Global Scheduling - it does not catch all of the suggestions I know it should?
What do you find?
i do not calculate it, Epicor does, SC extract it and apply it, the SC bulit in logic just validate it with other issues to make sure that it is correct, you may need to review your setting for the MRP and scheduling task.
Thank you for reply.
I have the setup correct in all areas you have described.
MRP (PartDtl table and PartSug) table do not contain a complete enough data set for me to pass to Service Connect - I will still be left with some Jobs scheduled to the wrong date - the frustrating thing for me is that the MRP Pegging process does contain a complete Data Set or certainly enough for me to create my own from - I will then use this to pass to either Service Connect or some other update solution.
I have discussed this topic with a number of Epicor Consultants and I have yet to find anybody that can fully reschedule make to stock Jobs based on push and pulls from Customer demand - most use the in built Epicor tools that do some of the job but nowhere near all.
for us we succeeded to do that using this built in logic i told you about, it is working fine so far, planner trigger the process once a day, so when MRP and Global scheduling run it will put these WIP-Confirmed jobs where it supposed to be, the custom logic that working for us is very similar to Epicor which checking the nearest demand compare it to the safety and on hand stock then assign the less lead time job to it if the priority factor is the same, the WIP-lead time for any wip job is the total number of Prod and setup hours for nonstart operations plus the non dispatched subcon days-out hours plus its receive time, what ever finish sooner takes the new required demand date
The PartSugg table does not contain a record for this Part number.
However - when I run MRP Pegging it tells me that the first demand for Job 157486 is 14/10/2020.
This illustrates my problem - hope this makes sense.
in theory Epicor scheduling engine will put them on the front of the queue and schedule them forward -ONLY- starting form its running date, unless if you ticked the Allow scheduling before today option on the company configuration
yes, these are two factors out of 14 others which explained on the post i have given you the link above, you need to check them all to make sure that you have set up the correct data for the MRP to run and suggest.
7. We have accurate Methods of manufacture - with only 1 Approved Revision per Part
All Operations are set correctly against resources.
All required production and setup times are accurate.
All Resources are set correctly against calendars.
All Materials are set correctly to Related Operation.
All Subcontract Operations have accurate Days Out.
8. Sales Orders are 100% accurate
9. Scheduled Tasks:
one more thing, check all Demand Sales Order/Line/Release for the part that you mentioned earlier, and make sure that all open and firmed, then run the MRP for just this part (has to be manufactured type as you know)
@A.Baeisa
Thank you for response.
Demand is correct.
Sales Order is Open, Line is Open, Release is Open - Release is Firm.
MRP Run and no suggestion for Part - I expect a postpone suggestion from 07/10/2020 - 14/10/2020.
