MRP Planner Codes
04/21/04 at 06:36:19

Our Material Manager would like to add Planner Codes to our inventory components and link it to the MRP function. The planner code would then be used as a sorting parameter in the Order Action Report and Material Requirements Report.

Is this possible? If not, is there another field that can be used? We are already using category. The planner code would allow our purchasing department to sort even further.

Thanks for your help!

We are using the User defined sort field already. Also, this field is not available as a sort parameter when running the Order Action Report or Material Requirements report.

We basically would like to assign parts to a buyer. In our case, we may have more than one buyer working within a category.

We don't use many of the fields in Inventory such as weight and foot factor. We thought about using one of those fields but we still can't pick it as a sort field in MRP.

Sounds like a worthwhile request to me. In the meantime, it could be accomplished through customization, or through Access or Crystal if you have in-house capability or a consultant.

One out-of-the-box thought; assuming your Buyers correlate to Vendors, could you add a suffix to the vendor code for sorting? Vendor #23556 would become Vendor#1-23556 and would be handled by Buyer #1?

Thanks for your input. We already use Crystal Reports quite a bit. But, we were hoping to stay within the DBA/EVO module. If there is an add on program out there then we would definitely be interested in looking at it.

If Lynn can't incorporate this into the MRP then I will start working on a Crystal Report.

Anything is possible, it is simply a matter of priorities. There are some database fields in the inventory tables that are currently unused and could store the Planner - how many characters do you want? And what reports do you want it to be available in? I would think MR-G, H, J, K and IN-D could all potentially be filtered by planner so each planner could get a report of only their items. Maybe PO-I-A as well.

How much interest is there in something like this? Anybody else interested?
