New to BC but have ERP background. I am helping to setup structure to use planning worksheet. When I run planning worksheet I noticed it is actually assigning new production order numbers to my jobs. Is this supposed to happen? I am used to getting a planning suggestion, but it will not assign a production number until you act on that suggestion and convert it to an order. Please let me know if anything else is needed.

Hello,

If you are referring to the Reference number field then BC will assign a reference number for Prod. Order suggestions:

The reason is for full MRP/MPS planning these planning suggestions are used for other suggestions such as purchases. You can see below my Prod. Order I have a purchase recommendation for 11 units. If I select that line and then select Item Availabity by > Event

You can see one of the suggestions is a planning level suggestion related to that Prod. Order Reference No.:

While I haven't created an actual Planned Order yet that Prod. Order reference number is still be using for planning suggestions.

Hopefully that helps!

That makes sense, there is a lot of clean up I am doing as there are old open SO, PO, and production orders. As I am building the structure we are still planning from the sales orders or creating manual jobs until I can stabilize the process. I noticed when I ran the worksheet just to see planning suggestions it assigns this reference number, but when I would then plan from a sales order or a manual job, I noticed my production orders jumped up significantly since there are a lot of erroneous settings and orders. I thought that it was weird that a planning suggestion would actually assign, hold, and use a production order number even before I action the suggestion. Just wondered if there was a parameter setting or if that was how it was designed.
