MRP Grouping Quantities When Creating Produxtion Tickets

Ah that’s really helpful thank you.  I will test this out. 

It would be helpful to be able to set this at the item class level so you would not have to worry about it on every single stock item.  It would also be helpful if there was an indicator on the screen to provide a subtotal for the group, or let you know that it is a group production type. (Yes, there is the group number, but a simple indicator could also help)

An update to this, you can manually add in the group number (it may be obvious to some, but I wanted to put it out there) when you choose the Purchase or Manufacture process button. You can override or add in a group number and it will consolidate.  It would be nice if it gave you a total somewhere though. 

RE: It would be helpful to be able to set this at the item class level so you would not have to worry about it on every single stock item. 

You can use a generic inquiry to update this at the item class level. Select or create an inquiry that includes the field(s) which you want to update globally by Item Class. On the “Entry Point” tab check the box next to “Enable Mass Record Update”. A new tab will appear called “Mass Update Fields”. Add Group Planning (and other fields as needed). In the inquiry there should now be an “Actions” drop down where you can select Update or Update All. Group Planning can be selected in the pop up window and the Value entered. (Test on one or two parts initially….)

Hope this helps..

Did the “Group Planning” field get removed?  I’m not seeing it in my instance.

I believe this has been revamped as ‘Days of Supply’ on the Inventory Planning Preferences screen. Once this is turned on, the days of supply field on each stock item will be available on the Inventory Planning tab. You can set the number of days you want MRP to group plan records for each item.

Thanks!  Found it.
