Scheduling and PO Suggestions

Steven,

We have seen this also and rescheduled accordingly.

However, the issue we are working with now is when there has not been a change to the Job. The example I am working with is on a Job that was scheduled/release on the 07.22.11 (viewed by the Audit Trail). The suggestions were available after the schedule/release and at some point disappeared. Before you ask, this Job hasn't even started yet (no labor transactions, etc).

If you check the Job, there are no flags on the materials showing inventory ok or needing purchased. We believe it comes to sight after the Global Reschedule, but again are not totally convinced. If we manually reschedule this Job then everything processes at expected.

Vantage 8.03.409C

Really do not know where to start. Have not been able to find any true common variables. Have some ideas but testing has just exhausted us.

Here we go...

Schedule a Job and all material suggestions process as expected. Typical process is to 'Backward' schedule and mark 'Finite Capacity'. An occasional process is to 'Forward' schedule and mark 'Override Material Constraints' and NOT mark 'Finite Capacity' (we think this may be a common variable but not totally convinced).

Every night we run a PO ReGen scheduled process. Every Sunday we run a Global Reschedule.

The problem we are fighting is with the Job that was scheduled and material suggestions processed as expected, we are finding that the suggestions go away at some point. If you check the Job, there are no flags on the materials showing inventory ok or needing purchased. We believe it comes to sight after the Global Reschedule, but again are not totally convinced. If we manually reschedule this Job then everything processes at expected.

If anybody understands this post maybe you can provide some insight on things to check or even some ways to test.
I'm not sure if you are having the same problem, but we had a problem where job suggestions were disappearing off the job scheduling board. I can't remember the exact details, but I think the fix was to get a one off fix from Epicor. This was in 8.03.408.

cooner,

I am not running MRP. This is strictly scheduling of a Job and my PO Suggestions hitting the PO Suggestion Board. If I look at my Job in Job Entry I can see all my pretty 'Blue' and 'Red' dots. I can even see them on the PO suggestion Board. Then, at some point, the suggestions disappear and if I look in Job Entry all of the material tags are yellow (no blue or red dots) and Time Phase will list them without dates.

If Time Phase is listing them without dates, then they need to be rescheduled. We found that if you make any changes to the method of a scheduled job, it has to be rescheduled. Could this be the cause of you problem?

cooner,

I am not running MRP. This is strictly scheduling of a Job and my PO Suggestions hitting the PO Suggestion Board. If I look at my Job in Job Entry I can see all my pretty 'Blue' and 'Red' dots. I can even see them on the PO suggestion Board. Then, at some point, the suggestions disappear and if I look in Job Entry all of the material tags are yellow (no blue or red dots) and Time Phase will list them without dates.
