System generated unfirm jobs w/o the MRP module. 5 .00.335

Lori,

We do not have MRP either, and we are in the process of trying this solution
so I don't know if it's a "perfect" answer yet or not. At least it's
something to try. Good luck!

Marilyn

Marilyn,

Thank you for the information. I am going to pass along the information.
Basically since we are not using MRP, would we be safe to uncheck the
Process MRP checkbox and this won't happen again? That's a solution that I
can handle for today.

Thank you,

Lori

Has anyone contacted support regarding this issue? We are running 5.0.335
and it has just started happening to us. If this has not been discussed with
Epicor I will be calling today as it's causing problems with allocations as
well PO suggestions.

Thanks - Lori

5.00.335


We do NOT have MRP module but recently, open jobs have been showing
up for one part number. The jobs appear to be system generated as
they are marked unfirm. We have compared all settings for the part to
other parts in the system and can find no differences. The Process
MRP IS checked on the part, but it is checked for other parts as well.

What would tell Vantage to generate jobs for this one part but not
the others?

Why would an unfirm job be created as opposed to just generating a
manufacturing suggestion?

I'm getting ready to call support because, just like you Lori, it has just
started happening to us also. Same version - 5.00.335.

Lori,

This was one of the last issues to hit us, on 5.10.113, and I have
not called support on it. 5.10 has been very frustrating, and we
have decided to alter how we interact with Vantage. Annual support
costs have increased while code quality has gone down. I am
disappointed because I've had the privilege of working with many
good people at Epicor.

have fun,
john

Lori,
I just spoke with support about this issue. I was told it is a known bug
that they had been trying to recreate, and have just managed to do so. I
was told to go into the jobs that are unfirm, mark them firm, engineer them
and delete them. Then go into the part master and uncheck the Process MRP
box. Supposedly this should keep it from happening again. I didn't realize
this until after I had talked to support, but it would appear to be
happening to only stock items. Not sure about tht yet, but first looks seem
to indicate this.
