Firm Master Production Schedule Planned Orders

Use this screen to convert planned orders generated by the Update Master Production Schedules, Manage Master Production Schedules, and/or Update Materials Requirements Plan screens into purchase requisitions, manufacturing orders, and transfer reservations.

The process selects and groups planned orders using the criteria listed below and applies part and Configure Material Requirements Planning Settings screen lot-sizing rules as necessary. After a planned order is firmed/released into a requisition, manufacturing order, or reservation, it is deleted, along with the associated MRP/MPS action message. Inventory on-order, on-requisition, reserved, and owed quantities are also updated when the manufacturing orders, requisitions, and reservations generate.

Note: During requisition generation, the preferred vendor must not be flagged as a payroll vendor, and its Approval Code must not be Not Approved or Pending. The vendor's Vendor Status for PO must not be On Hold.

You can generate a trial-run report (or on-screen preview) that lists the manufacturing orders, requisitions, and reservations that would be created.

If you run the process, these reports are used to produce a log of all objects generated during the current execution.

You can also access this screen in Material Requirements Planning.
