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.
