Why buy?
Part# x is needed to complete part# y, there is a w/o for for part# x for the amount that y needs. All the components on the w/o for part# x had been issued. W/o for x is not completed is wip.
When MRP is run I get a buy message for the components of part# x, this components are used only on part#x. I don't understand why buy. Can you set me straight.  
Thx
JI

Oops, looks like I jumped to a conclusion without having enough info.  Prior versions of MRP did have a number of different problems. DBA Tech Support has been working on it since at least last December. They sent me several "fixes" some of which were worse than the original problem. But, I have tested the latest files (emailed directly to me by DBA and dated 6/24/03) quite a bit in a test company and now have them installed in our live data. For us, they seem to work well. Your mileage may vary.
 
Juan, I am sending you the files. If anyone else is interested, contact me for a copy. cpappas@industrialdata.com
