Subject: [Vantage] Incaccurate Time Phase

Troy and Amy,

We ran into this same problem, when increasing the Production
Qty for a Job,
i.e. the timephase would not show the additional requirements.
Epicor sent information about a workaround. If you go into the
BOM items
and increase the Qty/parent, click OK, go back in and change the
Qty/Parent
back to it's original qty, you will then see the requirements on
the
timephase.

Here is the information from Epicor, I do not have the call
number, but
perhaps you could reference the Page ID???. The more customers
that mention
the need to change the bug, the better the chances of having the
bug fixed.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Customer has set up a job with material
requirements
and has issued the material
requirement complete. Customer states that they then go and
update the job
quantity or material quantity for the parent assembly on the
job. This
removes
the complete flag from the material in the job entry screen and
also updates the part master's allocated quantity field for the
additional
amount to be issued. However, the Time-phase Report does not
pick up this allocation.
Duplicated on MNTech's.
Steps to duplicate:
1. Create a job with a material requirement coming from stock.
2. Issue the material complete to the job.
3. Go to the part masterfile and note the allocated quantity for
the item.
4. Go to the job and update the quantity on the parent assembly.
Note that
on
the job entry screen the material complete flag has been turned
off showing
an
open material requirement.
5. Go to the part masterfile and note the additional quantity
required for
the
job has been added as an allocation for the part.
6. Go to Inv Mgmt > Reports > Time Phase and run the report (do
not select
any
exceptions) and notice that this additional allocation does not
show up for
the
job.
PROBLEM RESOLUTION: This issue is open in Development on Axl
14112.
----- Axl Problem Description -----
A Part Detail record (used in time-phase analysisis created)
only if the
material was not flagged as 'issued complete.' The problem is
that the code
to
create a Part Detail record occurs before the job material's
'Issued
Complete'
flag is reset, so no Part Detail record is created if the old
material
record
was issued completely. Creating the Part Detail record should
not occur
until
after all relevant fields have been adjusted.
WORKAROUND: Increase the required quantity and then change it
back.
-----------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This document also applies to the case
of
purchasing suggestions not picking up the additional
requirement. This was
tested in version 4.00, with the following results:
-if a material has already been received complete to the
job, but
then the job quantity increases, PO suggestions does not pick up
the
additional requirement, even if the job is rescheduled.

DEVELOPMENT'S RESPONSE:
SCR 896, currently with no planned release, applies to this
issue.
