Reg Plan Delivery Date - MRP - Calender Days

[Former Member]

Hi

This is what i understood

Plnd dely time - Calendar Days [which means including weekends]

GR Processing & Purchase Processing Days - Working Days

Now, Suppose

Requirement Date is 06-05-2010.

Plnd dely time - 5 days

Gr Processing daye = 0

Purchase Processing Days = 0

When MRP Run and Creates PR with a delivery date 06-05-2010 and PR Release Date = 01.05.2006 [06/05/2010 - 5days]

Which means buyer must convert this PR by 01.05.2006 which is Saturday, which is nonworking day.

There can be a chance that buyer might miss this instances. How do we face these issues

Since Plan delivery date is calendar dates which might push to release dates to weekends, Please suggest

334,

You can alter any of the 3 durations to meet any of your unique business requirements.

Without knowing why the existing durations have been set the way they are, I can't really answer your question. If it were me, and the client raised this as an issue, I would probably suggest to the client that he increase the Purchasing processing time to 1 day.

What you do, however, is up to you and the business requirements of your client.

I just stated an example

Since Planned delivery date is calender dates, it can yield release date to week ends [Non working days]

Isnt this scenario common?

334,

Are you asking if weekend Release dates are common? I couldn't say how common this is. I have certainly worked as a planner where Releas dates fell on a weekend. As long as you understand how the system works, it does not present a problem. At least it didn't to me....

Tested and observed release date is always working day if this it falls on weekend (Due to calender days) system assigning previous working day [Backward scheduling]
