This activity is used to manually update schedule receipts for the level 1 master production schedule. Plan Period Templates are used to display master production schedule quantities in a series of date periods. Only a fixed number of periods, the first 40, will be displayed. A period template with a past due period cannot be used in master scheduling for multiple parts. If a period template with a past due period is selected, then a message will appear before attempting to query. The Period Template range and MS Set should be selected to group MS Level 1 data.
In the Master Schedule for Multiple Parts page, only Level 1 Updated rows can be updated. The value in each period represents a sum of master production schedule receipts that is generated on every workday within the periods. When you save the changes, the new value will be evenly distributed to each workday in the period.
The re-calculation of the current template details may be necessary if the current date does not match the begin date of the selected period range.
