Set by-product low level code

Use this parameter to define when the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Master Production Schedule (MPS) calculations need to process the by-products or secondary products included on a work order that are produced during the main manufacturing process.

Yes: Process by-products before finished products. This ensures extra suggestions are not created for by-products.

No: Sage advises that you do not set this parameter value to No.

• DEFPTO (Assignment rule MTO)
• FIRWRKDAY (First work day of week)
• GPLNFLT (Planner/buyer filter)
• GPLNHOR (Default planning horizon)
• MPSECCSOF (Process firm SOs in MPS)
• MPSECCSOP (Process planned SOs in MPS)
• MPSECCSOS (Process suggested SOs in MPS)
• MPSPJTSOF (Process firm SOs in MPS)
• MPSPJTSOP (Process planned SOs in MPS)
• MPSPJTSOS (Process suggested SOs in MPS)
• MPSRECOVST (MPS reduce coverage stock)
• MPSSECCOV (Safety stock coverage)
• MRPECCSOF (Process firm SOs in MRP)
• MRPECCSOP (Process planned SOs in MRP)

Comments

The type of suggestions to be generated (work order, purchase order, intersite transfer, or subcontract order) are defined in the MRP Requirements parameters (Setup > Stock > Requirements parameters (GESPCB)).
