If you added a new assembly to an existing job, that assembly (in order to be valid) must have operations associated with it (or the materials within it would never have a requirement date).
Until you reschedule the job after adding the assembly, you have a job with no OP due dates in this new leg of the job. You have to schedule it once so all OPs (and their associated materials) are given dates.
If you run Global Scheduling routinely (as in nightly), it should take care of this for you (if you can wait for an overnight run). Just make sure you aren't using Locked Schedule Jobs (as the global won't fix it).
Your safest route is to just routinely do a reschedule from Job Entry after making any method changes. It only takes a few seconds.

Can anyone tell me if they have seen this problem before please:-
We have made some minor engineering changes to a job BOM for one of our
engineered, released jobs. The new part added has resulted in a new
assembly being generated as part of the overall job hierarchy. The part
is set as "Pull-as-assembly" . It appears that this has messed up the
job scheduling for the entire job, as the time phase display now has no
mrp due date showing for any part associated with the job ( all
assemblies ). The time phase data isn't making any real sense either.
It shows overall shortages, but no PO suggestions are being raised. I
have re run MRP several times, but the problem persists.
It appears that I have to re-schedule the job to get things back on
track again. Once I do this, the time phase appears to return to normal.
Has anyone ever seen a problem like this...?
Many thanks,
Nick Taylor
