Retrieve Production Line Demands
Explanation
You can retrieve the demands for a part line, that will be used for takt time calculations. To retrieve demands,
click Demand, then Retrieve Demand. You can retrieve the demands using one
or more of the following demand sources, based on the input demand selection date range. The
options are:
- Customer Order: Released customer orders that are not picked or shipped as yet.
- Customer Schedule: Planned demand schedule data for released schedules.
- Shop Order Material: Shop order material lines with Supply Type set to
Invent Order with a remaining demand.
- Production Schedule (component demands): Component quantities required from production
schedules that are not received.
- MS/MRP: Master Schedule Level 1 and MRP planned receipts.
Note: You cannot choose MS/MRP along with any other sources, as the MS/MRP snapshot typically includes
these demands already.
If you want to change the demands you have retrieved, you can manually change the demands on the
Demand Details tab, or you can manually enter new demands. In such situations, the source
type is Manual.
Prerequisites
- A production line with associated parts must have been defined.
- Demand records of some source type must exist to retrieve the demand successfully.
System Effects
- Production line demands will be retrieved for the specified sources and date range, and stored in a snapshot
table for the line. The demand will be adjusted according to the Schedule Percentage
defined for this production line on the Production Line/Schedule Attributes tab.
- Any existing snapshot demands for that date range and source type will be deleted and replaced by this set of
demands.
- Full pegging information for the retrieved demands will be identified in the stored records.
- You can enter demand records manually. Manually entered demands will be identified with a separate pegging
type and no order information (Manual source type).
