Use this page to generate a graph displaying the following types of cumulative Master Scheduling (MS) data for a selected Level 0 or Level 1 part: projected balance, cumulative forecast, cumulative planned receipts and projected time phased safety stock.
The selections that you make in this page determine which data will be shown
on the graph.
The time span of the data shown on the graph is based on
the Begin Period number and the End Period number of the period template.In
the Select Period
Range dialog, which appears from the command Calculate Graph,
the default period begin date is the last run date of the Level 0 or Level 1
part selected in the Part No list. The default period end date
is the planning time fence date of the Level 0 or Level 1 part selected in the
Part No list. The period numbers associated with these dates
are also displayed. You can change these period numbers, if desired. In order
to plot the graph, however, the begin date of the period template must be equal
to the last run date of the Level 0 or Level 1 part selected in the
Part No list. If this is not the case before you plot the graph, you
can correct the template's begin and end dates from the command Recalculate
Period Template.
Note: Periods on the period template depends on the work
time calendar based on which the period template was generated. Therefore, to
view all data, a period template based on a calendar which has seven days for
its schedule has to be used. This approach can be specifically used to view
forecasts on non-working days.
This activity requires that a Level 0 or Level 1 part exists. A period template also must exist.
As a result of this activity, the system generates a graph of cumulative Master Scheduling data for a user-specified Level 0 or Level 1 part. It shows in the Cumulative Graph section at the bottom of the page.
