Evaluate MS Result using Detailed Graph

Explanation

Use this window to generate a graph that shows Master Scheduling data for a selected Level 0 or Level 1 part belonging to a specified site. The types of data shown are forecast, supply, demand, projected balance and projected time phased safety stock. You can also generate overlay graphs that show cumulative unconsumed supply or cumulative unconsumed forecasts.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that a Level 0 or Level 1 part exists. A period template also must exist. 

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system generates a graph of Master Scheduling data for a user-specified Level 0 or Level 1 part. The graph includes forecast, supply, demand, and projected balance data and projected time phased safety stock. The system also generates overlay graphs showing cumulative unconsumed supply or cumulative unconsumed forecasts. The graph appears at the bottom of the Detailed MS Graphic window.
