Hi,

Plz suggest me,

we are having conductor div.n we req Drum to wind a wire coductor these drums having size of std lagging for dispatch but length is varied in coductor for winding.when i wan to fixed the quntity of lagging for perticular drum i used key fixed quntiy but at time conversion from pln order to prod order, system takes only fixed quantity for 10 drums also e.g.1 drum =65 lags & for 10 drum=65 lags after fixed key used.

But my reqmt is that when i will make prod order at that time the system varies the lagging nos. with propertion to lenth of conductor & that shuld not happen lagging nos. shoul be fixed.So plz tell me the procedure for this thing

thank u

Hi jagdish

Fixed quantity in BOM means. Always it will create proposal for that particulare quantity only irrespective of the order quantity

For ex if you say for MAT A in BOM the quantity is 1 No and if you tick fixed quantity indicator. The system will always create proposal for 1 No irrespective of the BOM header quantity.

This will be useful to create fixed quantity for a order for inspection or other purpose.

If you want MRP to be exploded as per the BOM header quantity. Use alternate unit of purchase.

Hope this is clear

In the bom , In the item detail of the component ,Select fixed quantity( in the Basic data tab) it will solve your problem.

Create 1 more UOM for conductor to length dimension. Change the base qty for conductor in BOM. Dont put fix qty. Define the relation in BOM. In MRP run system will behave as u r expecting

[Former Member]

but if i wan to run it for diff length of wire that quantity should be fixed & u mean that change base quantity in customizing or anywhere else.thank u
