How do I set up Nav13 MRP to not generate rescheduling or change messages when the only delta is +- 7 days from the original due date

We use the planning worksheet to both generate our planning messages and our supply chain purchasing messages.

Everything is Lot-for-lot and re-supply is driven by a top level unit forecast.

We have a lot of messages to deal with and we would like to remove all the action messages from the planning worksheet that has a +/-7day difference from its original due date.

We already have a default Dampener Period of 20D in the manufacturing setup, but that is not what I am looking for as a solution because that only deals with changing a reschedule to a cancel/new message.

I have worked in other MRP systems that allow for a "dead zone" in generate of Minor MRP messages, so people are not burning there time for an improvement of +/- 1day.

Do any of you all have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thank you.

Anthony,

Dampener Period: Specifies a period of time during which you do not want the planning system to propose to reschedule existing supply orders forward. The dampener period limits the number of insignificant rescheduling of existing supply to a later date if that new date is within the dampener period. The dampener period function is only initiated if the supply can be rescheduled to a later date and not if the supply can be rescheduled to an earlier date. Accordingly, if the suggested new supply date is after the dampener period, then the rescheduling suggestion is not blocked. This field is enabled if Reordering Police is set as Order or Lot-for-Lot.

If the lot accumulation period is less than the dampener period, then the dampener period is dynamically set to equal the lot accumulation period. This is not shown in the value that you enter in the Dampener Period field.

Dampener Quantity: Specifies a dampener quantity to block insignificant change suggestions for an existing supply if the quantity by which the supply would change is lower than the dampener quantity. If the suggested change in quantity is higher than the dampener quantity, then the suggestion is not blocked. If this field is empty, then the value in the Default Dampener Quantity field in the Manufacturing Setup window applies.

This field is disabled if Reordering Police is set as Order

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Steve
