Modify Planning Method Descriptions

Explanation

Use this activity to view and modify the descriptions of planning methods. Planning methods are provided by IFS; only the descriptions can be changed. This optional task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

When you create a new inventory part record, the system will provide the default planning method A. This planning method can be changed, if desired. If you choose to make modifications to the planning method descriptions, you should not change the meaning of the existing text, since the functionality of the planning method will remain the same. You may choose to add text, or substitute text that is more familiar to your organization.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites.
