Reorder policies

Block number 1

Use this field to define a code for this reorder policy.

Use this field to identify this record.

This long description is used as a title in screens and reports. This title can be translated and is recorded in the user's connection language.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function.

• Click Translation from the Actions icon in the field concerned.
• In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

Block number 2

Short title used in the screens and reports. This title is recorded in your connection language.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

• Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
• In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

The connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.

Use this field to define the type of information that should be generated by the MRP or MPS processing run.

Select from the following values:

MRP handles supply and demand information for phantom products in the same way as for standard BOM components. Note the differences between the With MRP pegging and MRP pegging only values.

• No processing: Do not process the components and associated parent products.
• With MRP pegging: Generate suggestions from the parent products, a nd generate trace requirements and resources, and suggestions for the components.
  
  • Phantom products: When the quantity in stock of the phantom product is:
  • Zero, do not display material req uirement demand for phantom products in the MRP results.
  • Greater than zero, display material requirement demand for the quantity in stock of the phantom product in the MRP results.
  • Phantom BOM components: Display material requirement demand in the MRP results. When the quantity in stock of the phantom product is:
  • Zero, the suggested component quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion.
  • Greater than zero, the suggested component quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion minus the quantity in stock of the phantom product.
• Without MRP pegging : Generate suggestions from the parent products without generating trace requirements and resources for the components, that is, there will be no suggestions arising from the trace requirements and resources.
• MRP pegging only: Only generate requirements for the parent product. Do not generate suggestions.
  Display material requirement demand for the phantom product and the phantom BOM components in the MRP results.
• Phantom products: T he suggested quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion.
• Phantom BOM components: When the quantity in stock of the phantom product is:
• Zero, the suggested component quantity is the quantity required t o meet the generated order suggestion.
• Greater than zero, the suggested component quantity is the quantity required to meet the generated order suggestion minus the quantity in stock of the phantom product.
  
  

Use this field to define what the MRP or MPS processing run should generate as the proposed reorder quantity with respect to the requirement for the product.

Select from the following values:

• Net quantity: The proposed reorder quantity should match the exact quantity of the requirement.
• Minimum quantity without rounding: The proposed reorder quantity is the minimum suggestio n equal to the economic order quantity.
• Minimum quantity with rounding: The proposed reorder quantity should represents a suggestion equal to one technical lot. The quantity will be an integer. It can b e more than the figure calculated for the requirement to the technical lot.
  
  

Use this field to set up quantity suggestions equal to the technical lot. These suggestions can run in parallel or sequentially.

Select from the following values:

• None: The su ggestion will not be split.
• Parallel: The requirement will be expressed as an amount of the technical lot with the same end date.
• Successive: The requirem ent will be expressed successively as an amount of the technical lot, scheduled over time.
  
  

Block number 3

Select this checkbox if safety stock must be added to the requirement. If safety stock must not be included, leave this checkbox clear.

Select this checkbox if the analysis for planning the current and future material requirements must extend beyond the firm horizon defined for the product. Otherwise, leave clear.

Select this checkbox if production suggestions must be increased by the loss (shrinkage) percentage for the product-site and if quantities remaining from work orders in progress must be decreased by this same percentage.

Loss percentage corresponds to production or storage loss.

Production loss corresponds to the total losses generated by each routing operation.
