RE: MRP - Lead Time for Phantom Parts
I am doing testing by manually adding entries in the LocStock and PurchData tables and MRP is functioning as expected. Suggested POs and WOs and associated dates are all working perfectly.
We have subassemblies within subassemblies so EPQ, Lead Time, and Low/Min/Safe Level values are required. For now I have created a Vendor/Supplier representing the shop floor so I can make entries in the PurchData table. While this works it is a hack as the only way to adjust Lead Time is to edit the PurchData table and the only way to adjust Low/Min/Safe is to edit the LocStock table.
If others are making use of phantom subassemblies this would be a very useful feature. In this context we are actually making subassemblies for stock so we can assemble the finished product in less time. Technically the finished product is a sort of Assembly but it is marked as Manufactured so MRP will function...
