Calculate MS Level 1
Explanation
This activity is used to calculate MS level 1. This calculates forecast and
actual demand, traces orders, and provides action proposals. The master production
schedule is calculated and created from forecasts on level 0, the forecast you
enter on level 1, and the actual backlog of orders. You can also choose to calculate
level 1 for a single part. This gives you quick access to the results of the
forecasts you entered.
Prerequisites
To perform this activity, you must have entered master schedule level 1 parts
and registered forecasts. The registration of level 1 parts can be handled manually
or automatically from the level 0 calculation.
System Effects
- The system's calculation suggests new orders and actions for existing
orders.
- MS results in a gross demand, which forms the basis of MRP.
- The projected quantity of the part on-hand is analyzed and displayed
in the Projected Balance field in the Master Schedule
by Part/Master Schedule Grid tab. The quantity
on-hand is also updated. This value is used to calculate the development
of quantity on-hand and the quantity available to promise.
Note: In the master schedule Level 1 calculation, manufactured/acquired
split, supplier split ,standard multiple quantity and lot sizes will be
considered.
