Preliminary Steps
Manufacturing Engineering
Before converting a part from JIT to MRP production, the routing must be cleared. Routings for JIT and MRP parts are used in different ways when cost and load are calculated.
Design Engineering
On the Change Description Screen the production type must be changed from JIT (2) to MRP (1). Fields that relate specifically to MRP parts include the following:
· On the Change Control Screen:
|
|
|
|
PRIMARY LOCATION
|
The primary location for the part (used only for MRP parts).
|
|
SIR LOCATION
|
The simultaneous issue and receipt location for the part (used only for MRP parts). This field is used only when the part has an issue code of S (SIR).
|
· On the Change Planning Screen:
|
PLANNING POLICY CODE
|
You may wish to change this field depending on the replenishment policy for this part. Depending on the code selected, you may also wish to modify the Planning Policy Quantity and Planning Policy Increment fields.
|
|
LEADTIME
|
This field is reset to zero when the production type changes, and must be regenerated.
