Calculate MS Level 1
Explanation
This activity is used to calculate MS level 1. This
calculates forecast and actual demand, traces orders, and provides action
proposals. The master production schedule is calculated and created from forecasts on level
0, the forecast you enter on level 1, and the actual backlog of orders. You can
also choose to calculate level 1 for a single part. This gives you quick access
to the results of the forecasts you entered.
Prerequisites
To perform this activity, you must have entered master
schedule level 1 parts and registered forecasts. The registration of level 1
parts can be handled manually or automatically from the level 0 calculation.
System Effects
- The system's calculation suggests new orders and
actions for existing orders.
- MS results in a gross demand, which forms the
basis of MRP.
- While the calculation is underway, an on-hand
analysis is made. You can view it in the Calculated Balance field in
the MS Level 1 Part
window.
- The physical quantity on hand is updated during
calculation. This value is used for calculating quantity on hand development
and available to promise.
Note: In the master schedule Level 1 calculation,
manufactured/acquired split, supplier split ,standard multiple quantity and
lot sizes will be considered.
