Order Policy when Mfg is installed

Posted on by 1,855

GP10 SP5 Manufacturing is installed.  When I go to Inventory > Site > Planning > Order Policy I only see 2 policies: Not Planned and Use PO Gen.  Also when in Item Resource Planning window, I still see only those 2 policies. Isn’t there supposed to be additional policies when Mfg is installed? (Lot for Lot, etc? )

    Hi Joe,

    This was just an issue with Fabrikam. I don't know the reason to be honest, but I know other companies I’ve talked to that had just a LIVE database, never had this issue.  It's just those that have Fabrikam loaded.  So typically partners and support are the only ones that typically see the problem.  Your live database should never have the problem.   I think it's actually just an issue on version 10, because since I upgraded to 2010 I've never had the problem again.

    The problem doesn't hurt anything, but it's just a little annoying since you have to get in and then out of a different database to get the options to show up.  

    Thanks,

    Angela Ebensteiner

    Hi, strange very strange.  This was a fresh install.  After installing GP with Mfg, I used the utilities to create Fabrikam first before creating a live company so I had a test company as a sandbox.  So Fabrikam being the only company installed, I went into Fabrikam to check things out.  However, in Fabrikam all the windows did not show any Mfg fields and options.  Hmmm… checked to make sure Mfg was registered.  It was.  The Mfg home page was ok, that is it showed all the hyperlinks.  So just as a test, I created a live company and low and behold now all the screens showed the Mfg fields and options in the pulldowns.  Don’t know why they did not show when only Fabrikam was installed.  Any ideas?

    Hi Joe,

    Yes, When Manufacturing is installed you should have additional options in your Item Resource Planning window called:

    -Lot for Lot

    -Fixed Order Quantity

    -Period Order Quantity

    Do you have issues getting into any of the other Manufacturing windows?   Were these options available before or did you just decide to install Manufacturing when you added SP5?  

    Do you have another company installed?  If so can you go into the other company's Item Resource Planning window and then back to the database you are working with to see if it comes back?  We had a quality issue at one point where the options weren't showing, but by going into another company and back it fixed the issue.   Let me know if that works.

    Warm regards,

    Angela
