Define Planned Netting Group

Explanation

This activity is used to define a planned netting group. A planned netting group (PNG) is a collection of project activities (PPSA). 
PNG is beneficial in the multi project material requirement planning (MPMRP) process as it allows you to plan material transfers for a group of project activities. The transfer process will be handled by material transfer requisition (MTR). To control the sequence in which the MPMRP reviews the available material from each PPSA within each PNG, a priority number is assigned. You can exclude certain parts from a specific PPSA. The excluded parts will not be considered in MPMRP calculation.

For a project, you can define a PNG using either the Planned Netting Group page or the Create Project Planned Netting Group dialog. It can also be created automatically if the Create Project PNG Automatically option in the PNG Default Settings page is enabled.

Note: It is not possible to connect a PPSA to more than one PNG within the same site. You can connect one PNG to another PNG. However both PNGs should be within the same site.
