Use this screen to view and implement MPS action messages created by the Generate Master Production Schedules process. The application selects MPS Action Messages for the part(s), project(s), MPS Plan, and warehouse criteria you entered in the header of the main screen. Planned order messages do not display in this subtask; they display separately in the Planned Order subtask.
Note that if the MRP process was used to plan MPS parts, the action messages generated from that process do not display in this subtask, even if the part is an MPS planned part.
If you are viewing action messages for an MPS Plan other than "P" (Production), you will not be able to implement changes.
You can modify what rows display in the grid by checking or unchecking the Display All Periods and Display All Product Family Parts checkboxes in the header.
Note that current quantities and dates referenced on the grid represent the supply order information when MPS or MRP was last run for this part. They do not reflect any subsequent modifications made to the order.
This field displays the part ID for the part selected on the main screen. The part description displays in the unlabeled field below this one.
This field displays the part revision number.
This field displays the planning code for the schedule ("P" is the code for the "official" MPS Production plan; other codes represent "what-if" plans).
This field displays the warehouse specified on the main screen. This field is hidden if no warehouse was entered on the main screen.
This field displays the part's default or inventory unit of measure.
When the screen first displays, it displays only the planned orders due in the time period selected on the main screen grid. Select this checkbox if you want to see planned orders for all periods.
Select this checkbox if you want to see planned orders for all parts in the same product family. This checkbox is available only if you selected the Include Prod Family Supply/Demand option on the Edit Master Production Schedules screen.
This field displays the ending date of the period for which planned orders information displays. It loads from the period end date for the row selected on the main screen grid.
Select this checkbox to implement the suggested changes. This is valid for "Cancel Order," "Decrease Qty," “Reschedule,” or "Reschedule Order within Time Fence" message types only.
This field is disabled if the header MPS Planning code is not set to "P" (Production). You cannot implement action messages for "what-if" MPS codes. Also, you may not be able to implement messages for certain order types, based on the values in MRP Settings for Allow MO Maintenance, Allow PO Maintenance, and Allow Reservation Maintenance.
This field displays the type of message suggested by MPS for the row, such as:
Cancel Order—The supply order quantity is no longer needed to meet current demand and can be closed or cancelled.
Decrease Qty—Only a portion of the supply order quantity is needed to meet current demand and the order/req quantity be reduced to the messages’ suggested quantity.
Reschedule Order—The supply order should be rescheduled according to the suggested due date in order to meet current demand need dates.
Reschedule Order within Time Fence—The supply order should be rescheduled according to the suggested due date in order to meet current demand need dates; however, the suggested due date is within the calculated MPS time fence range for this part.
Planned Order within Time Fence—A planned order has been created to meet unfulfilled demand requirements. However, the suggested due date is within the calculated MPS time fence range for this part. If you want to select this planned order for firming or releasing, you can do so in the Planned Order subtask.
GFM Planned Order (Government Furnished Materials)—A planned order has been created to meet unfulfilled demand requirements. However, the default inv abbreviation for the planned order is a GFM inventory abbreviation. If you want to modify and select this planned order for firming or releasing, it can be accessed in the Planned Order subtask.
Inactive Inv Abbrev—A planned order has been created to meet unfulfilled demand requirements. However, the default inv abbreviation for the planned order is not active. If you want to modify and select this planned order for firming or releasing, you can do so in the Planned Order subtask.
Exceeds Max Qty—The order/requisition quantity on the supply order referenced on this row exceeds the maximum lot size quantity for this part defined in the Planning Part Data screen in Product Definition.
ECN Pending—This message indicates that there is an ECN outstanding against the selected part with a status of "Pending," "In-Approval," "Approved," or "Documents Updated."

For purchase orders, requisitions and planned orders with an Order Type of "Buy," the "Purchasing Inspection" and "Purchasing Receiving" lead times (from the Part Lead Time subtask of the Planning Part Data screen in Product Definition) are added to the Due Date to determine the Planned Avail Date. Costpoint uses the Shop Floor Calendar in Production Control for this calculation, if the Shop Days radio button is selected in the Production Control Settings screen in Production Control.
For manufacturing orders and planned orders with an Order Type of "Make," the "Manufacturing Stocking" lead time (from the Part Lead Time subtask of the Planning Part Data screen in Product Definition) is added to the Due Date to determine the Planned Avail Date. Costpoint uses the Shop Floor Calendar days in Production Control, if the Shop Days radio button is selected in the Production Control Settings screen in Production Control.
For transfer reservations and planned orders with an Order Type of "Transfer Res," the Planned Avail Date is the same as the Due Date.
This field displays the date on which the referenced supply order is due to be received.
This field displays the MPS-suggested due date for the order if it is to be filled by the Need Date, considering lead times. For "buy" supply orders, Costpoint calculates this by subtracting the purchasing inspection and purchasing receiving lead times from the need date. For manufacturing orders, Costpoint subtracts the manufacturing stocking lead time from the Need Date.
This field displays the target place date for the requisition. The planned release date for manufacturing orders.
This field displays the MPS-suggested release date.
For a purchase requisition, Costpoint calculates this by subtracting the purchasing vendor, purchasing/receiving, and purchasing inspection lead times from the need date of the requirement.
