Does ManEx have a MRP Differential Report? |
Q. Does ManEx have a MRP Differential Report?
A. ManEx does Not have a report like this at this time but here is a temporary work around to follow:
- Setup up a bogus top level, to include all of the top level assemblies involved. Use the quantity needed for each assembly as the quantity for the assembly in the top level.
- Once this is done, prepare to run MRP. Run MRP (without the bogus top level), and make a copy of the MRPACT table. Copy that table to an Excel Format.
- Then put in 1 of the bogus top level assembly, and run MRP again. Make a second copy of the MRPACT table (don't use the same name as before).
- Make an Excel copy of that second listing.
- Remove the 1 bogus top level part requirement and run MRP again to clear out the momentary information.
- Compare the two lists, and whatever is different is the result of the proposed additional parts (unless you don't run the second MRP very quickly after the first).
- It sounds complicated, but I think it is eassier and more accurate than running the kit shortage report and trying to fathom it out from there.
