Stuart,
I found out the problem with my BOM. It seems that there was a material in a different BOM that had an improper related operation. Because it was directly tied into the part in question, no MRP job was being created. All I did was change the related operation to a valid operation and it worked.

I have seen some strange issues with MRP not generating suggestions if
you raise a job, and change something in some way after the first MRP
run. I have not been able to replicate the issue, so haven't lodged a
support call. If you use assemblies this seems even more prone to
happen.
Basically we get the same situation you describe, demand shows for a
part, yet MRP ignores it. It is as if the job is flagged as being looked
after, but it hasn't been unflagged when something changes, but I do not
believe this is how Vantage works, so it has me stumped.
The only way I can get it to happen is to do something drastic to the
job. If you don't have subassemblies, I think the date must be the
issue. So what I do is totally change both dates, and then Run Regen
MRP. Then you should see the MRP job. If so, I change only the due date
flag to a time maybe a day or so before you need it, and rerun the MRP
regen.
If there are subassemblies causing issues, I actually delete the
subassembly from the job, and re-enter it as a subassembly manually.
This behaviour is highly concerning to me, because you have no warning
that something is going wrong, unless you manually create a report
showing unbalanced demands and receipts, and remember to run it
regularly.
If you work out anything further please keep us posted.

I have a part that MRP seems to ignore when it generates MRP jobs. I
effective date is before today, and it is approved.
Does anybody know what are some of the reasons why MRP would not create
jobs for that part?
Thanks,
Jasper
