Hi all BaaN gurus,

I have a basic question about SIC. Will SIC look at MPS / MRP planned production orders for demand?
Lets say I have top level part -- A. And component B being used by A, where 'A' is a MPS / MRP part and there are MPS / MRP production ordes in the system. When I run 'Generate planned Inventory' transaction will the system consider the MPS / MRP production orders and recommend purchase orders?

If not how do I handle this in BaaN, where the purchased parts are ordered based on reorder point principle and and the top level parts are MPS / MRP parts.

Thanks in advance

NO,

SIC looks only on the inventory. PLanned Orders of MPS or MRP have no influence. They have to be "real" orders to get "demand".

Hi,
Thanks for comming back.

What if in the situation I have all MFG parts as MRP parts and prchased parts are all on reorder point ordering. That would mean that all the MRP orders have to be transferred immediately. But given the volatility of the business (in our case) it would really mean that MRP has to be run literally 3 times a day (whenever we get sales orders). Apart from shuffling SFC orders for previously firmed orders. So is there any smart way you can think of that would help me plan my Raw materials (using reorder point) w/out confirming my planned production orders.

Thanks
BG

Maybe,

you should change the purchase items from SIC to MRP.

hello to all, somebody can say to me as it is the session in Baan V that it generates you order type SIC and where this located

Go to session tcibd2100m000 and set the Order System for the part.
Choices are Planned / SIC / Manual
You will want Planned.

Excuse JCORWINe,
which I want to know. It is
- Codigo of the session in Baan V that it generates you order SIC.
- And in where one is.

Sorry - I mis-understood the question.
SIC orders are generated in whina3200m000 - Generate Order Advice
that session is in:
Warehousing
Inventory Analysis
Order Advice
Make sure when you run this session that you set the Order system range from SIC to SIC if you want to generate orders for only those items you have set to SIC Order System.
