Unfortunately we use component quantity at the moment.

Could be an idea to look into using the reel quantity instead



Thanks for the help

OK thanks, there is nothing I have tried before.
BTW, what version are you running?
How is the quantity called out on the BOM now?
Reel qty or component qty?

If it's a straight reel qty maybe two operations on the job, each
calling out for it's own reel?

If it's the component qty that is called out on the BOMs, wow.
A wild guess, maybe a resource setup?

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a way for Epicor to show the minimum number of reels to but for a part?

We are an electronics manufacturer and we use machines to place our components. What we would like to do is to specify the number of reels that a part is to have on a BoM so that we can optimise some of the machine programs.

Use one of the many UDF Fields and some custom programming logic?
Do you just want a field to hold this value? Or do something w/ it?

Jose,

Ideally we would want it to give purchasing the instructions to buy the
required number of reels, not just the quantity

I would think that could be accomplished by utilising mins / mults and purchasing factor in the part / part plant setup

Part reels are not a problem for us as we can use them, as this is reels
of surface mount components.

What we are trying to do is optimise the machine programs, so for
example if we need to fit a lot of capacitors to a board we could use
two heads on the machine to speed things up, and so would need a minimum
of two reels.

>the minimum number of reels to but for a part?
I use Min Order Qty to accomplish something like this.
Min/Max/Re-Order to Max but they only get me so far.

I'm curious, do you end up with partial reels & is it a problem?

We have a problem like this:
Two left over 20" long pieces of raw material, (inventory says 40")
can't make one 30" finished piece.
Raw material has to be at least 30" long to make the part.
And you can't always scrap the 20" long raw material peices because
there are other shorter finished parts that can be made from them.
I have not found a way to use the system & handle these manually.
