Trying to run some demand planning reports using the partdtl table. I need to reconcile against the timephase on the basis that po suggestions / mrp will also reconcile back.
But looking at the part dtl table, i am seeing some entries which look strange. For example there is record for a closed job material with a job seq of -9998. But there is also another record for the same job material with what looks like the correct Jobseq number. Just wondering if anybody has come across this. It looks like I need to remove these job materials out of my report because. But in some examples the job has been fullyclosed and material issued so I would expect the partdtl record to be removed.
It seems odd that this record would exist. If the Job is closed, there should no longer be material demand…
I assume you don’t have any BPMs that write to the table?
You may want to bug Epicor support to see if there is a fix. If not, you may have to exclude it from reporting.
@epicor , anychance you could confirm the timephase logic. Also, i know it is not possible in our version, but it might in current . But if not , could it be possible to call timephase for multiple parts. This would help in no end of scenarios
This is an old topic, but we ran into the same issue. The case was that we were running an operation on a purchased part, which kept creating a demand even if the work order was completed and closed. We did want to record time for the specific part-related operation which was not inspection. Now I know there is a better option, but we deleted the demand link to fix the jobs that created demand, but labor hours and quantity were still saved on the work orders.
