We've got the same issue. If/when we resolve it, I'll let you know Mark.

In the latest installment of "Well our old system used to...", we have a
question from the Production Manager and Purchasing Manager. They previously
had a single report that gave all action items and it was based on the MRP
suggestion report.

Because of this mindset, every possible combination of materials/coatings/etc
is being added as a part so that it will show up in MRP. In reality, many of
these parts only exist for a single customer order and will never sit on a
shelf. They scream to be made on sub-assemblies, but subassemblies don't show
up on the Time Phased Report. The same is true for other make or buy direct
materials.

Has anyone come up with a report or dashboard (that can be filtered by
planner/buyer code preferably) that lays out all actions for the
planner/buyers?

Thanks,
