Macola v7.6.100a - SQL
We are using Variable Lead Time to calculate shop order start dates in MRP. Until recently we have not had our standard lot sizes sufficiently large enough to meet the integer datatype of the field. I have changed 3 parts to a larger standard lot size which fixes the problem. MRP does now take into account the variable production time required by one of our processes.
Unfortunately, the orders in MRP are now scheduled to start on a Sunday (which is not a work day on our Shop Calendar). When the shop order is computer generated and passed to SFC, the start date is moved back 2 days and now starts on a Friday.
I should note that all of our other parts still schedule correctly on work days.
Any idea why this is so?
Thank you,
Carl
Even with variable scheduling MRP should not be scheduling on non-production days should it?
