Item Highlighted in Red in MSW but No Shortage
The system highlights an item in red for a POH issue in the MSW workbench, but there are no shortages within the production line’s scheduling horizon end date.
Probable Cause
This occurs because the item that is on that particular resource is also on other resources in the Schedule Grid. When this is the case, the system looks at the number of firm scheduling days for all resources for which the item is scheduled in the grid; then, it selects the number of firm days that is the highest to associate with the item. So, even though the specific work center that is highlighted may have zero (0) firm scheduling days, another resource for which the item is scheduled may have, for example two firm scheduling days, so the system uses the two firm scheduling days for the item status for the item, regardless of the resource with which the item is paired.
Solution
No solution required.
