Print MPS Action Message Report

Use this screen to print MPS action messages generated by the Generate Master Production Schedules screen for a specific MPS Plan. You can print messages for specific buyers, planners, project(s), netting groups, parts, warehouses, message types, order types, and planned order date cutoffs. You can also view the planned order messages and optionally print summary inventory data for each part referenced by the selected messages.

Note that if you used the Update Materials Requirement Plan to generate plans for MPS planned parts, you will not see action messages in this report.  You will need to run the Print MRP Action Message Report.
