Inventory Status Codes<br />

Assign a non-nettable inventory status code to inventories that should not<br />

be considered quantity on hand by MRP. This might include inventory to<br />

be returned to a supplier or designated as scrap or salvage.<br />

Product Structures and Formulas<br />

Product structures and formulas provide some of the information used in<br />

MRP calculations, including <strong>com</strong>ponent quantities, lead times, and<br />

effective dates. Enter and modify product structure and formula<br />

information in Product Structure Maintenance (13.5) and Formula<br />

Maintenance (15.5).<br />

Component Quantity<br />

To calculate <strong>com</strong>ponent requirements for planned orders, MRP multiplies<br />

each <strong>com</strong>ponent’s quantity per assembly value by the planned order<br />

release quantity.<br />

Component Lead Time<br />

MRP determines a <strong>com</strong>ponent’s due or required date using the scheduled<br />

release date of the parent item and the <strong>com</strong>ponent lead time offset<br />

specified in the product structure.<br />

Example When a <strong>com</strong>ponent’s lead time offset is 10 days, its due date<br />

will be 10 manufacturing days after the planned release date of the<br />

assembly. When it is –5 days, the due date is 5 manufacturing days before<br />

the planned release date of the assembly.<br />

If no lead time offset is specified for a <strong>com</strong>ponent, the <strong>com</strong>ponent release<br />

date will be the same as the release date for the parent item.
