  • 1.  Automatically run the Inventory Requirements Planning Generate task at night

    Posted 07-12-2023 15:05

    Customer wants to run IRP Generate automatically at night. Task Scheduler does not know about IRP so I think that option is out, unless there is something I am missing.

    I believe I can use Windows Scheduler to run it using the command line, however; I have two issues that I'm not sure how to handle:

    How to use a report settings (IRP calls it a Selection Setting) from the command line.

    AND

    How to get the Projected Demands Starting date to default to 'todays date' (All other dates are defaulted to 12/31/2999).

    IRP was added to Sage Task Scheduler in v2023.

    Of course it was! (he replies sarcastically) We are firmly entrenched in 2022 and changing to 2023 is not an option.

    Any other ideas?

    Greg, I investigated the possibilities pretty thoroughly with v2021 and did not come up with anything other than trying to use a third-party macro product to run via Windows scheduler. There were challenges and I never fully got the one that I selected working consistently. Sorry for the bad news.

    That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the insight @Karen O'Lane
