Vantage 6.1x - No DEMAND -

Couple of things.

You need to check the part is correctly flagged as purchased or
manufactured in the part master
On the part master, in the inventory/purchasing area, there are two
check boxes, process MRP and Generate PO suggestions. You need these
ticked.

Then your generation of suggestions due to parts being below minimum
should work, once you run MRP or generate PO suggestions.

Not sure about your demand problems, I notice demand never really shows
what I expect, so don't use it as a rule.

Cheers

Stuart

We don't use that - we don't use the system necessarily for material
management....either. I would like to know the DEMAND for items
though which I though as long as there was an open order for an item
(that would be demand)....against what is available....leaving me
with what needs to be run....

We have never used the system before for scheduling/production...We
have just completed our part master and updated physical counts of
inventory. I wanted to start using it to manage order flow - however
I notice as the Part Tracker will now show correct inventory - it
shows no DEMAND even though there are orders/jobs on the system for
the part.....Does anyone know if you need to have the Advanced
Materials Module or another module to make use of DEMAND??? I also
set Min On Hand Qtys - thinking it would generate suggestions in
Planning workbench if inventory fell below this level -so far nothings
working there either....
Do you see requirements when running Time Phase?

This often happens when orders and jobs are changed and or deleted. In
version 6.1 there is a database conversion to run that will correct this.
It is #6430. (I don't know if the condition and database conversion exists
in later versions).
