Use this subtask to view materials planning information for the part on the header entered in the main screen header. The MRP and MPS processes use this information to determine how a given part must be planned. This information can be modified on the Manage Parts screen in the Product Definition module.
This field displays the part ID.
This field displays the part revision number.
This field displays the part description.
This field displays the part's unit of measure.
This field displays the MPS planning code for the schedule selected on the main screen (P is the code for the "official" MPS Production plan; other codes represent "what-if" plans).
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 — The part is typically planned by the Master Production Scheduling process, but can be planned by MRP if the Plan MPS Part Requirements check box is selected on the Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen.
The order policy type 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 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 in Product Definition.
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 Point Quantity field on 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 part type, such as MPS Planning-Only, Reference, Standard, or Tool. Part types are defined on the Manage Parts screen in Product Definition.
This field displays the minimum lot size for specifying that the order is always 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 Mult 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 is split into several orders, each not exceeding the maximum quantity.
If Period is displayed 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 is 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, or assembly or purchasing of this part.
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 the total lead time that is calculated on the Lead Time subtask of the Planning Details subtask of the Manage Parts screen.
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.
This field displays the total lead time, including component and subassembly lead times, required to complete this part. This number is maintained on the Planning Details subtask of the Manage Parts screen.
This quantity is used as the MPS time fence only if the MPS Time Fence Method is set to Use Part Cumulative Lead Time on the Configure Master Production Scheduling Settings screen.
This field displays the number of days, before the sales order line's ship date, in which modifications to sales order quantities and dates must not be made. The number of days within the time fence is maintained on the Planning Details subtask in the Manage Parts screen.
The MPS time fence is intended to limit modifications to the production schedule within a specified amount of time in the future. The number of days within the time fence is maintained on the Planning Details subtask of the Manage Parts screen.
This quantity is used as the MPS time fence only if the MPS Time Fence Method is set to Use Part Time Fence on the Configure Master Production Scheduling Settings screen.
