Manage Master Production Schedule Action Messages

Use this screen to view and implement MPS action messages created on the Update Master Production Schedules screen.

You can enter values in the header screen to filter the list of messages you receive in the main grid. The MPS Plan code and Project Option settings are required, but you can leave the other header screen values blank if you do not want to filter your results by that value. Enter the MPS plan code, planner, warehouse, project or netting group, planned order date cutoffs, and message types and click to load a list of messages in the main table window. These messages can include both planned order and exception messages.

If you view action messages for the MPS Plan code P (Production), you can select planned order messages for firming or releasing. For action messages that reference firmed orders, you can also implement some action messages types that suggest modifications to the referenced order (such as cancel order, decrease quantity and reschedule messages). You can also make other modifications or cancel referenced orders, if allowed on the Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen. One action message type, Overcapacity, does not reference a part or supply order; it is used to display key resource overcapacity conditions identified by the Generate Rough-Cut Capacity Plan.

You cannot select, implement, or modify MPS action messages generated for a what-if MPS plan, nor can you modify supply order information in the subtasks.
