Re: auto release M.O. order

Arno, I'd like to see that work also!!!   We currently do exactly what you
do (except we run MRP 2x a week, not daily).  And it is VERY
time-consuming.

Hello Group,

Every day after running MRP we release manufacturing orders manually. Work
sequence is as follows. We request a exception report. Check item by item
for required material. Next step is review and aprove item by item. We only
want to release orders if the required material is available. You can
imagine that this is very time consuming. Maybe we should try MRP menu
"Check item Availability Prior to Release".

We use Mapics XA release 6, with browser. We have a controlled warehouse.

Solution:
Looking at field "Manufacture auto release code", you can set this on
position 1. Setting "1=Auto release M.O. if all components are available".
My expectation is that orders will be automaticaly released when all needed
components are there, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any suggestions?? You cannot find the above descibed functionality in the
manual (at least I didn't).
