Have you ever seen MRP still drive component demand against a closed Parent Work Order. I found a few of these and I have an open ticket with QAD to help find and resolve this issue.
There is a utility in the System Admin menu 36.25.55 – Delete mrp_det with no wod_det
It will validate the MRP work file records against the open work order detail records and that should clean it up.
Traditionally we have run MRP on a nightly basis, but I’m wondering if there is any harm in running it every hour, other than system load.
It depends on the number of items in 1.4.1 Item Master Maintenance, 1.4.7 Item Planning Maintenance or 1.4.17 Item-Site Planning Maintenance that are set to “Plan Orders=Yes.” It is recommended that you check with your IT department to see if there are issues with Hardware or IT Software. It might be that some users such as warehouse, customer service, or buyers exit menus that might interfere with the explosion process during the MRP run.
