Use this subtask to view materials planning information for the part entered in the main screen header. This information is used by MRP and MPS processes to determine how a given part is planned. You can use the Manage Parts screen in the Product Definition module to modify this information.
This field displays the ID for the part on the selected action message on the main screen.
This field displays the part revision number.
This field displays the part description.
This field displays the part's default or inventory unit of measure.
This field displays the planning type for this part:
None — The part has not been assigned a planning method.
MRP — The part is planned by the Materials Requirement Planning process.
Reorder — The part is planned using the Inventory Reorder Report (Print Inventory Reorder Report screen).
MPS — Usually the part is planned by the Master Production Scheduling process, but it can be planned by MRP if the Plan MPS Part Requirements check box is selected on the Corporate Settings block of the Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen.
This field displays the minimum lot size for specifying that the order will always be at least equal to the specified lot size when meeting net requirements.
This field displays the multiple lot size for specifying that the order is always a multiple of the specified lot size when meeting net requirements. For instance, a Multiple Qty of 200 means that quantities of 200, 400, and so on are eligible to be ordered on an order.
This field displays the maximum quantity that can be placed in any one order. If the order quantity is greater than the maximum quantity, it will be split into several orders, each not exceeding the maximum quantity.
This field displays the total lead time calculated in the Lead Time subtask of the Planning Details subtask of the Manage Parts screen (in Costpoint Product Definition).
This quantity is used as the MPS time fence only if the MPS Time Fence Method is set to Use Part Lead Time on the Configure Master Production Scheduling Settings screen.
If Period displays in the Order Policy field, this field displays the number of calendar or shop days for which MPS combines net requirements to create an order.
This field displays the estimate of what percentage of these parts will be accidentally destroyed, lost, or otherwise rendered unusable when used as a component in a manufacturing order. This scrap percentage can be overridden at the manufacturing bill of material level.
This field displays the percentage of losses that can be expected during the manufacturing, assembly, or purchasing of this part.
This field displays the order policy type that represents the lot-sizing technique to be used for this part:
Discrete Lot Size — This type has the MPS/MRP processes set the planned order quantity equal to the quantity of the net requirements.
Min/Mult Lot Size — This type requires that the order quantity meet the minimum and multiple lot sizes specified for the part.
Order to Point — The inventory reorder process automatically places a purchase requisition for this part whenever the inventory quantity is less than or equal to the reorder point. It orders the quantity necessary to bring the quantity up to the Order to Point quantity. The Order to Point and Reorder Point are defined on the Manage Parts screen.
Period — This type requires that the lot size equal net requirements for the specified number of calendar or shop days.
Reorder Point — The inventory reorder process automatically places a purchase requisition for this part whenever the quantity on hand is reduced to or below a specified level (reorder point level). The Reorder quantity field on the Planning Details subtask of the Manage Parts screen is used as the requisition's order quantity. The Order to Point and Reorder Point are defined on the Manage Parts screen.
This field displays the default planner assigned to the part for planning purposes.
This field displays the default buyer assigned to the part for procurement purposes.
This field displays Y (Yes) if the part is a common stock part, which means that supply and demand for this part are not typically tied to a particular project and the part is ordered as part of a common pool of items. Otherwise, this field displays N (No).
This field displays Y (Yes) if the part is floor stock, which means that it is a bulk issue part and therefore is available on the shop floor. It is not typically picked in the stockroom for manufacturing orders. Otherwise, this field displays N (No).
This field displays Y (Yes) if it is a backflush part, which means it is automatically deducted from inventory when a manufacturing order is completed (or first issued to). Otherwise, this field displays N (No).
This field displays the ID of the project linked to the part.
This field displays the project's name.
This field displays the project's abbreviation.
This field displays the safety stock quantity requirement assigned to the part for the project. It is treated as an independent demand by MRP/MPS if the Safety Stock flag is selected in the Include as Demand group box on the Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen.
This field displays the reorder point quantity level of inventory (in the inventory unit of measure) that Costpoint uses to determine when to create requisitions if the part planning type is Reorder. The Inventory Reorder Report is used to generate requisitions for these parts
This field displays the quantity to which the inventory will be raised (in the inventory unit of measure) when the part is reordered, if the part's Order Policy is Order To Point.
This field displays Y (Yes) or N (No) depending on whether or not substitute parts are allowed for the part/project combination.
