min_interval field removed from buffers #4

Open steveblamey opened 3 years ago

steveblamey commented 3 years ago

The min_interval field has been removed from the buffer in Frepple community edition. This field was used to combine demand within a specified time frame. See: https://groups.google.com/u/2/g/frepple-users/c/icaghSPU7Ps/m/O8JBw7uSAQAJ (nothing found in release notes or issue tracker).

The field is still present in the database and UI, but does not influence the solver. See the above link for possible alternatives.

Hello,

  • Buffer’s min_intervals

The min-interval field on the buffer has been removed quite some time ago.

*Operation’s batchwindow

This fields is available in the Enterprise Edition and is used in combination with a setup matrices.

Other solutions:

  • Use the "operation.size_minimum" field to guarantee that a manufacturing order always exceeds a certain minimum quantity. If the sales orders is smaller, this creates inventory that can be used for later demands.

  • We have implemented a preprocessing script for some customers that manipulates the due dates (and/or quantity) of sales orders. As a result a group of similar/identical products can be planned next to each other.
