Wanted to make the community aware of a somewhat rare occurrence but meaningful. We had an infrequent occurrence by our engineering team of naming a Component BOM in the Materials of a higher level BOM. When this Component BOM was archived but NOT removed from the higher level BOM and demand elements drove the need to generate a production order, the entire MRP (inventory planning) job failed with an error “Inventory Planning Error…...specifies the BOM details…..The given key was not present in the dictionary.”
In other conditions when a BOM is archived at the top level (Finished Good), MRP will complete the run and recommend a production order. If executed, the production order will have no BOM ID in it (and thus no production content). We have flags to identify this error.
I’m just surprised the entire MRP job fails. This seems like a problem; I’d rather the job complete with errors. Fairly random occurrence but seems like something that should get fixed. We are operating with 2024R1 (Build 24.112.0026).
