MRPBASE — MRP

Material requirements planning regeneration, date buckets, planned orders, independent demand, MRP shortage reporting.

16 programs documented. Source: S:\Dept\Computer\Documents\PTIS2\AFTEC\MRPBASE.wpd, MRPBASEOVER.wpd, MRP.wpd, MRP2.WPD, MRPBATCH.WPD (vendor manual; see Reading AFTEC Source for how to convert and how to tell what actually runs).

This is the vendor's designed behaviour

The manual describes what a program was built to do. PSI does not use all of it — the cost-accounting standards path is the clearest example. Always confirm against live data and the cataloged object before relying on it.

6315MRP LOCATION CODE TABLE ENTRY AND MAINTENANCEThis program allows the user to enter and maintain valid M.R.P. locations. COMPANY NUMBER Entered by the operator, must be a valid entry the company master file (GL-COMPANY).
6700MRP REPORT DATES ENTRY AND MAINTENANCE - MULTIPLE JOBSThis program allows the user to set up the date buckets for the material requirements planning report for multiple jobs. This is done by entering date offsets to be used on the starting date for the report.
