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.
