John Grant ABC Computers A very important setup discussion when first implementing NAV is to understand the concept of locations vs. bins. NAV MRP works great if you use locations to reprsent a physical site. If you setup several locations to control invnetory at one physical site then NAV MRP will not provide you with the desired results you are looking. Locations that replenish with a transfer from the main location work well but using multilpe locations at one physical site is not something NAV MRP handles well.

The order cycle planning parameter in NAV seems to have multiple uses, depending on which ordering policy is selected. Can you please clarify use of the order period, particularly for the Fixed Reorder Qty policies? Peter NAV Project Manager
