Retrieve Production Line Demands
Explanation
You can retrieve the demands for a part line, that will be used for takt
time calculations. To retrieve demands, click Demand, then
Retrieve Demand. You can retrieve the demands using one or
more of the following demand sources, based on the input demand
selection date range. The options are:
- Customer Order: Released customer orders that are
not picked or shipped as yet.
- Customer Schedule: Planned demand schedule data for
released schedules.
- Shop Order Material: Shop order material lines with
Supply Type set to Invent Order with a
remaining demand.
- Production Schedule (component demands): Component
quantities required from production schedules that are not received.
- MS/MRP: Master Schedule Level 1 and MRP planned
receipts.
Note: You cannot choose MS/MRP along with any other sources, as
the MS/MRP snapshot typically includes these demands already.
If you want to change the demands you have retrieved, you can manually
change the demands on the
Demand Details
tab, or you can manually enter new demands. In such situations, the
source type is Manual.
Prerequisites
- A production line with associated parts must have been defined.
- Demand records of some source type must exist to retrieve the demand
successfully.
System Effects
- Production line demands will be retrieved for the specified sources
and date range, and stored in a snapshot table for the line. The demand
will be adjusted according to the Schedule Percentage
defined for this production line on the Production
Line/Schedule Attributes tab.
- Any existing snapshot demands for that date range and source type
will be deleted and replaced by this set of demands.
- Full pegging information for the retrieved demands will be
identified in the stored records.
- You can enter demand records manually. Manually entered demands will
be identified with a separate pegging type and no order information
(Manual source type).
