MRP Issues with Vantage 8.03.404B

The Planning Time Fence is your culprit on the cancel/re-enter job messages.

Doubtful the reschedule in/out values are hurting you.

You can avoid the increase/decrease job qty messages by locking your job qty's. (We customized job entry to lock ours automatically when a job is engineered.)

Don't be confused by the messages you see in time phase. All these messages aren't necessarily 'exceptions' that would be presented via Planners or Buyers WB. Time phase shows every message (whether it is an 'exception' or not).

That would mostlikely solve most of your issues.

However; you will then have to deal with all the (my opinion) absurd

amount of reschedule/cancel/ reorder message MRP will then generate.



This behavior identified on bug number 50580 slated to be fixed in

patch 8.03.405A and/or Service Pack 8.03.406

Hi everyone, we recently moved to Vantage 8.03.404B and have been
having several problems with MRP. I have been advised from Technical
support to upgrade to 8.03.405, however, I am hesitant to do this
based on the amount of work it will take to update all of our add-on
& 3rd Party modules. I am looking at about a months worth of work in
order to do this. I also have over 8 different issues with MRP, and
I have no guarantee that my problems will be fixed in 8.03.405.
Therefore, before I take this leap of faith I am asking 2 questions.

1) Are there any of you using 8.03.404B and MRP that are having
issues that you didn't have when running earlier code?

2) Are there any of you that had problems with MRP in 8.03.404B that
went to 8.03.405 and there problems were fixed?

Some of the MRP issues are:
MRP suggests new Jobs, when there is no demand.
MRP suggest cancelling jobs, and then asks you to start new ones.
MRP suggests cancelling jobs, and then does not suggest anything when
the balance goes negative.
MRP suggests new jobs but with incorrect start dates, due dates
With a split job, only 1 of the jobs will get suggestion activities.
MRP suggests to increase released jobs to minimum Lot Size eventhough
there is no demand
MRP suggestions to Reduce/Increase Qty on Released Jobs

I would love to hear from anyone on this issue. Thanks!
Would you happen to have reschedule deltas or planning time fences
set up?

Bw, yes we have Reschedule deltas and Planning time fences setup for
all of our product Classes. Receive Time:5, Planning Time Fence:3,
Reschedule Out:10, Reschedule In:3. Should we look at setting these
to 0?
