Data not correct - open parts and limits

 

Occurs when optimising a part list or product requirements and the limits on some boards are set for ratios (1-3) and the optimising parameter 'open parts' is also set

 

Board ratios cannot be used with the parameter 'open parts' as these are often conflicting requirements.

 

Check the board list and the optimising parameter settings.

 

Note - if the optimising parameter for the number of open parts is set but is less than the number of part types (sizes) in the part list the open parts parameter does not apply.

 

The following board list and part list with open parts set to '3' illustrates this problem.

 

Part  Material    Size      Qty

A      CP1     500 x 450    20

B      CP1    1200 x 345    20

C      CP1     600 x 400    10

D      CP1     925 x 450    39

E      CP1     450 x 345    20

 

Board  CP1     Size      Limit

B1           2440 x 1220    1

B2           3050 x 1220    3
