Configure Master Production Scheduling Settings

Use this screen to set up and maintain basic parameters for forecast guidelines, consumption of sales forecasts, and procedures for firming planned orders.

The settings you establish on this screen apply only to the company you are currently logged into.

In addition to the settings on this screen, MPS also uses the parameters defined in the Corporate Settings block on the Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen when you run the Update Master Production Schedules application.

If the Plan MPS Part Requirements check box is selected on the Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen, the MRP process includes parts flagged for MPS. In this case, you need not run the Update Master Production Schedules process to plan MPS parts, because the Update Materials Requirements Plan application generates planned orders and action messages for MPS parts.

If you use MRP to plan MPS parts, action messages are visible only in the MRP module. If the Plan MPS Part Requirements check box is selected on the Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen, you can still run the Update Master Production Schedules process; however, without a firm workflow, it may be difficult to determine where the action messages for MPS parts are stored.
