Hello,

We have the following scenario at our business.

We are shut down Week 30,31,32 but there is slight demand on our Purchase Schedules for Week 32. This is due to the fact that some of our Purchase Contracts are set with a receiving pattern of Thursdays only. So quite correctly the system knowing that we are buidling early in Week 33 schedules the material of for the Thursday of Week 32.

Does anybody know of any methods to get MRP to pull forward this demand to Week 29.

Cheers
Neal

Defining those days as non working day in company calendar should work, isn't it?

Hello Arvind,

I was hoping it would be something that simple.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers

Neal,
Purchasing also use the "blank" calendar code. I don't think you can maintain that. But you can always manipulate tirou410 table. It alos depends upon the parameter for company calendar- By company or workcenter.

Cheers Arvind some good info here. Probably a bit too late to push out good schedules this year.

We are set up as company calendar by Work Center. One final question how do you maintain the data in tirou410 ?

Thanks
Neal

Neal,
If you do by work center then by updating the calendar will maintain tirou410. Otherwise you need your own script and can update tirou410. Its not difficult to do though.
