MM Related issue

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We find many times that work order requirement dates of materials is in the past which is illogical. We are wasting time in asking end user to correct. How we can do any enhancement so the date is error message when selecting in the past.

Secondly we have develpoed If the status is u201CBLOC Blocked for approvalu201D then system restrict GI creation. When end user comes to warehouse to collect material and cannot be issued due to u201CBLOCu201D . Changes in config. are necessary since system is restricting GI creation / withdrawal of materials from warehouse. Since it is restricting to withdraw material which is equal to unrelease work order then why this should come under MRP.

Can you please tell me the solution for above two MM issues

Regards

hi

how come the requirement date is in past ,either you have entered the basic start date in past ,if you dont want to start in past then in IMG make the start date in past as ZERO ( OPU7) .

for second instance i think you have created the user status as BLOC ,if that is the case then ask your user to change the status of another one which permit the GI

Dear ,

There are some orders which start date is in the passed since we do not get shut down

they are to be executed later

but when the order is executing today it should at least some message for material procument

We cannnot set that start date as zero since we are working on revision

Secondly BLOC status is after work order gets approval & some body adds material to order .

if new materialis added then without reapporval stores should not issue it .

so blocked GI

but what to do with the reservation of material it will generate reservation

We do not want this to happen

If material is added after release of order then it should go for reapporval again & no reservation should be created

Please reply

hi

in OMBN we are specifying the no of days which should be processed for automatic deletion flag setting for reservation .you can change for your requirement.kindly consult with MM person also

For the second case since it is custom developed for getting approval for each material , then there is no other way expect getting the approval and GI for the order

For those order with dates in the past, try rescheduling them with a date in the future (header and/or operation dates).

YOUR company has decided that the BLOC status is set under particular circumstances. If these settings are affecting the processing of orders, then you need to challenge the system design.
