BPCS/LX Tip of the Day: MRP/MPS Simulation

Anthony Etzel / Monday, May 18, 2015 0 786 Article rating: No rating

The system allows you to manipulate and maintain a simulated MPS and MRP. You can copy the simulation from the existing first cut or you can create a totally new schedule. You can also perform a simulation of the rough-cut capacity plan. This allows a quick visual inspection by inquiry or menu of needed work center loads for the proposed MPS. After you choose a suitable MPS and rough-cut capacity, the system allows you to transfer the simulated MPS to the live Master Production Schedule.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Day: Inventory Stocking Levels – LX

Anthony Etzel / Tuesday, May 12, 2015 0 735 Article rating: No rating

The system supports four levels of inventory. You can view summaries of stock at each level through the Material Status Inquiry program or through reports.

Below are the four levels:

▪ Item

▪ Item + warehouse

▪ Item + warehouse + location

▪ Item + warehouse + location + lot

The lot number level and/or container of inventory can cross multiple warehouses and locations. For example, item + lot or item + lot + container. Locations exist within warehouses. There is no limit on the number of warehouses, locations, or lots that you can assign to an item.

Baan/LN Tip of the Day: Transfers - LN

Kathy Barthelt / Tuesday, May 12, 2015 0 2779 Article rating: No rating

A Transfer involves either one or two warehouses. If items are transferred between two different warehouses, all activities of the warehousing procedures must be carried out. However, if a transfer takes place between two locations within the same warehouse, the receipt activities are not carried out. You can use transfer orders to define a replenishment system within a single warehouse. This system controls replenishment from bulk locations to pick locations. Note: LN allows you to modify the outbound order line data based on the value the Allow Updating Outbound Order Lines up to and including field is set to in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.
