Hello All,
We have an on hand quantity of 64 and 48 in transit.
The min on hand is 108.
For some reason when we run MRP, it suggests a new transfer order suggestion to bring us up to the max…
Why doesn’t it acknowledge the in-transit quantity?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Yes, this is a bug. Call it into support so that you can get attached to the fix.
Tim, thank you. I have a case out there already hopefully they know of this bug.
G’day Tim, does this mean there is a fix already or will calling support just put us on the waiting list for the fix.
My company is still settling in with Epicor and I’m guessing the project manager has a ticket in for this issue but your post above gives me hope there is already a fix and wanted to confirm.
Brad.
Hi All,
Did anyone get a resolution on this?
Hi Tim,
I don’t suppose you have a reference for the bug you are talking about?
over the years, I have tried to make this a “bug” but when development comes in, they have been able to show that the situation that we had setup involved bad data, past due transfers, invalid days of invalid lead times… If you can show a completely properly transfer order that is shipped on-time and is doing everything as expected, but still is ignored, then we need to have that as an example. I have had an onging discussion on this with the dev team for several years.
If you’re able to make it work, then could you explain ! it is possible that our second sites ships late or does not follow what is asked by the transfer order. When does the MRP stop taking the transfer into account ? as soon as the shipping is late compared to the ship by date??
Epicor have told me that MRP will consider an in transit TFO as valid supply for X days from the shipment date.
Where X = PartPlant.DaysOfSupply
Epicor have also told me many incorrect things, so take this with a grain of salt.
Yup.. this is the answer. make days of supply longer than the in-transit time, and the system will consider the qty of items that are in-transit.
Thanks Tim, I will play with this.
