To my knowledge, it does not go down more than 1 level.
Just got this regarding the forecasting not pulling in the data.“I would like to inform you that the issue was fixed in 21.116.0049 version of the system.”
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)
Did you get this figured out? I recently did an import with what I think was a similar situation to what you were looking at. The order of operations was (for example)10- ManufacturingPart 1 Part 2 Part 320- Outside ProcessOutside Part 130- AssemblyNonStock Part 1 Subassembly Part 1We were able to get the parts and the operations in there by hard coding them. Is this sort of what you are talking about?
Another thought would be to look at how they are set up for the phantom routing. If you want your production order to include all of the items, that might be an option to pull in all requirements.I think this would depend on the situation, but it is something that is often overlooked.
I have seen a few cases where the forecasts do not seem to pull any actual history. I have an open ticket to see if it can be addressed, but I have also gotten the circular reference as well.
As you mentioned, the biggest difference will be whether you are looking at the specific work order, or the purchasing as whole. This case is really useful when you have a particular item you are worried about, and you want to make sure that you can accomplish building this. In my experience, this should be the exception, and MRP should be the rule. MRP is a different animal, but if you take a look, you will notice that these critical materials show on the MRP report. There is a lot that goes into these MRP calculations, including min qty, max qty, lot qtys, forecasts, etc. MRP should be utilized when you are looking forward, and are ahead of the game. This is always a challenge in a manufacturing environment, but MRP will help you get a better view based upon the required dates.As of right now, if you use the Material Requirements by Item Inquiry, it will give you what you are looking for, but it its a bit clunky in my opinion. I have seen a few people that will utilize the MRP disp
