Calculate Project MS Level 1

Explanation

This activity is used to perform project master scheduling (project MS) for either a single part, or for all the parts belonging to a specific site and project planned netting group (PNG). This process uses information from the forecasted demand that you have entered and the actual backlog of orders. It calculates forecasted demand and actual orders, traces orders, and provides action messages. When initiating a project MS process for a site or PNG you may set it up so that project material requirements planning (project MRP) and material requirements planning (MRP) are run immediately after project MS.

Prerequisites

• A project MS part needs to be defined.
• Forecasted demands need to be registered.

System Effects

• If you perform project MS for a site or PNG, one or more background jobs will be executed to perform project MS and, optionally, project MRP and/or MRP.
• The project MS process generates proposals as required. Shop order requisitions and purchase requisitions may also be created for fixed proposals, if you have indicated that requisitions need to be created. During the process, existing proposals and requisitions in the Planned status for the part are removed and new ones will be created if necessary. These proposals are created for the forecast activities.
• Material transfer requisitions may also be created to transfer material between activities.
• Action messages may be displayed in the MS level 1 Part/Action Messages tab or in the MS Action Proposals window.
• The gross demand per activity is made available and this forms the basis for the MRP calculation.
• The projected quantity of the part on-hand is analyzed and displayed in the Projected Balance field in the MS Level 1 Part/Register Forecast tab. The physical quantity on-hand is also updated. This value is used to calculate the development of quantity on-hand and the quantity available to promise.

Procedure

1. Open the Calculate Project MS Level 1 dialog box.
2. In the Site field, enter the short code of the site for which you want to perform project MS, or select it from the List of Values. If you enter % project MS will consider all your sites during the calculation.
3. In the Project PNG field, enter the ID of the desired project PNG. If you enter % project MS will consider all the project PNGs that exist in the selected site(s).
4. In the Run Date field, enter the date when you want to perform the calculation.
5. Select the Stop Project MS on Error check box if you want the project MS process to stop when errors are encountered.
6. Select the Start PMRP Once Project MS Completes check box if you want PMRP to be performed after project MS.
7. Select the Start MRP Once MS Completes check box if you want MRP to be performed after project MS.
8. Click OK.
