When I run MRP and look at the suggestions based on end date. I would like to have those end dates automatically extended by 5 days. I have my work orders, but also have a second manufacturing that is outside the last operation in the work order. That typically takes 5-7 days to complete.
Is there any setting or method to add time to the completion date after MRP has finished processing.
I think receive time is what you are looking for.
From help
Receive Time
Displays the amount of days required to move a part to stock or to the next job. The Receive Time is subtracted from the Requested by Date .
Note: When you schedule a job, the Scheduling engine takes the Requested by Date and subtracts the Receive Time to calculate a net Requested by Date. Scheduling then takes the net calculated date and works backwards to calculate the Start Date. For example:
Move Time = 5 days
Calculated net Requested by Date = 25/05/2016
Start Date = 23/05/2016 (calculated by Scheduling based on the net Requested by Date)
Thank you, I’ve noticed that the receive time is only working when I have one operations. If I have multiple operations, nothing seems to happen. Does something need to be done on the system/site configuration or at the operations level.
Not that I am aware of. We manually schedule, so I don’t know of any issues with MRP.
as @gpayne said… “Receive time” is the magic here… you assign receive time at the PartClass / Site level… so each part class can have a different receive time in each site.
Tim, it seems that the receive time set (5 days in this case) is only working when there it one operation in the method. If i have several operations in a MOM, it ignores the receive time and just returns a date based on the Method requirements. It does not add the 5 days into the schedule calculations.
Do you have “final operation” checked on the last operation?
This works best, in my opinion, at the finished goods part level. Part - Sites - Planning.
It explodes down to the purchased parts when MRP is run, so it takes care of the additional lead time needed to order.
