Title: Generate MRP hanging
Post by David Waldmann on 03/30/12 at 04:05:55

I haven't used MRP in the past, but this week I've been trying it out. It seemed to work fine for a couple days, it would take maybe 5 to 10 minutes and I'd get anticipated results. The last three times I've run it however, when it gets to Generating Material Requirements, BOM analysis: LABOR (the item we use to record time against WOs) it hangs there, even overnight.

I'd been running it with No Forecasts, No S-Type WOs, only the required Item Types and No Reorder Levels. I did just try it again with all the defaults and get the same result.

Any ideas?

One while I was getting this kind of behavior, and I believe it was due to an issue in one of my inventory master tables. You might try SM-J-C, at least in report-only mode, and see if it finds messed up or missing records.

Funny enough, I had just run SM-J-C this morning as part of my normal monthly routine, so I tried again but no change.

Well, that's all I could think of. Let's bump this thread up to a repeatable issue...

Check SM-J-Q for a loop someplace in a BOM.

That was it. I did a global BOM replacement the other day and one item ended up on its own BOM...

Thanks!
