You MUST enter the exact part number and revision of the Parent BOM to get only the parts with actions per that BOM. Note: Only parts listed on the BOM with MRP action messages will be displayed. Parts with all actions from all sources will be shown on the screen if the part has actions from the entered BOM and other demands. A part may appear on the list even if there are not direct actions from the entered BOM if there are actions from the demands or such actions as Cancel PO/WO. There is no way to filter out the actions just to those actions resulting from demands from entered BOM. |
| Rev |
Revision of Parent BOM. If applicable this MUST be entered to located the exact Parent BOM. The "Find by Parent BOM" is specific down to the Revision level. If the exact part number and revison of the Parent BOM is not correct user will receive the following message:
|
| Parent Project |
If you select to find by a Project this is going to filter and display only parts that are assigned or associated to a project, but will display , ALL actions for that part , not just those that are associated with the project. If you had 3 actions for a part, each assigned to a different project, all three actions would be displayed when you Find by any of the three projects. |
| Actions |
Select the action from the pull down. There are the various Material Requirements Planning actions, which the user may filter on such as: All Actions, All Purchase Order Actions, All Work Order Actions, Pull-Ins, Push-Outs, Release Purchase Orders, Release Work Orders, Cancel Purchase Orders, and Cancel Work Orders.
Note: When you filter by any of the selections, MRP will filter through the actions and display ONLY the parts that have an action that matches the selection. If it finds a match it will display all the the actions against that particular part.
For example: if you select to filter by "Release PO Actions". MRP will display ONLY the parts that have "Release PO Actions". If it finds a match it will still display all the other PO actions against that particular part. If it didn't users may overlook the fact that there are other PO actions for that particular part as well. However, it does filter out all the parts that "DO NOT" have any "Release PO Actions" against it.
