P3411 MRP Messages - Expedite/defer messages don't work for PO where Req Date remains the same, but
Hi,
We started using purchasing effective days last year, and one of the side effects is we occasionally get Expedite and Defer messages where the Request Date = Rec'd Complete Date, but the Effective Date is different to the Rec'd Effective Date. The user can't action these as the P3411 screen won't let them (presumably as only the Effective Date is supposed to change).
These messages only occur in certain circumstances around the weekend (we have the shop floor calendar setup for a Mon-Fri week). If the current Effective Date is a Wednesday and the item has purchasing effective days set to 3 (item branch -> lot processing tab) then the request date will be set to Friday the previous week. If the Effective Date is recommended to change to Mon or Tues (expedite by 1 or 2 days), then the request date will remain the same. If the user then tries to action this message, nothing will happen (the message isn't marked as
