MRP Planning for ECOs
Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP lets you consider unimplemented ECOs when you plan material requirements and considers use-up date changes in some cases.
Unimplemented ECO Revised Items Planning
When you define an ECO, specify whether the MRP planning process should plan for an ECO revised item. This lets you order material and plan resources that you need to build a future revision in advance. When the MRP planning process explodes requirements for a planned order based on a planned order start date, it generates requirements considering component changes introduced on ECO revised items so specified.
Use-up ECOs Planning
The planning process automatically changes revised item effective dates and considers those new effective dates in the current MRP plan only when the use-up date changes and the revised item is the use-up item. The planning process then uses the updated effective date for component changes when it explodes requirements for planned orders.
