So weve been running MRP for a year or so now and the girls who create the travelers have been disregarding the U jobs (our unfirmed jobs) and creating their own jobs sequentially. They have recently been calling me up asking why the U jobs are now attached to orders? We use the Order quantity on the traveler so the operators know when we’re short pieces throughout the process.(Example: OrderQty = 100 & ProdQty = 130) When the firmed jobs are added to the order though, this order quantity will increase, giving us a quantity that is sometimes double what the job is for.
What caused this sudden change?
