Aggregate Level 1 to Level 0

Explanation

This activity is used to aggregate item production plans. The aggregation uses both the option forecast as well as the item forecast. This activity will also perform level 0 calculation. Forecast requirements are calculated and action results are performed. Information such as forecast and time limits are transferred to level 1.

Note: A re-disaggregation of an aggregated family production plan to the item level will result in over planning at the item level.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that there is both an option and an item forecast registered. MS level 1 calculation should be performed first before aggregation process otherwise the result in family level could be incorrect.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the item production plans are aggregated into a family production plan and MS Level 0 calculation is performed.

  3. Specify for which site the item plans should be aggregated in the Site field. Use the List of Values to select from available sites. If you leave this field blank, all sites will be aggregated. If you want to aggregate a project master scheduled part, search for the part with the relevant PNG.
  4. Specify for which part the item plans should be aggregated in the Part No field. Use the List of Values to select from available parts. If you leave this field blank, all parts will be aggregated.
  5. In the MS Set field of the Target Family Plan area , specify to which master schedule set the result will be placed. Use the List of Values to select from available sets.
