Perform CRP Simulation
Explanation
Use this activity to run Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) for a selected Material Planning Scenario other
than scenario 1 (the live scenario) using the Perform CRP Simulation assistant. The CRP
Simulation evaluates machine operation and labor operation loads using the Shop Order Scheduler logic for supply
proposals generated by the MRP, Master Scheduling, and PMRP simulations.
You can perform CRP simulation for one site at a time, or if you leave the Site field blank,
the simulation is run across all sites to which you have access.
This job is posted as a background job and can be scheduled for later execution.
Prerequisites
- A Material Planning Scenario other than scenario 1 must
exist.
- A user-allowed site must exist.
- MRP, Master Scheduling, or PMRP results must exist for
the selected site and scenario.
- Machine and labor resources must exist with valid
capacity definitions.
- Routing and manufacturing structures must exist for the
parts included in the scenario.
System Effects
- Simulated Master Schedule proposed receipts (MS
Supply) create loads as the load source MS Additional.
- Simulated MRP requisitions (MRP Make)
create loads as the load source MRP.
- Simulated PMRP requisitions create loads as the load source PMRP.
- CRP calculation stops when an error occurs if the
Stop CRP on Error toggle is enabled.
- Simulated Master Schedule proposed receipts are
included when the Include MS Proposed Receipts toggle is enabled.
- Simulated MRP requisitions are included when the
Include MRP Requisitions toggle is enabled.
- Simulated PMRP requisitions are included when the Include PMRP Requisitions toggle is
enabled.
- Labor load is calculated when the Include CRP
for Labor toggle is enabled.
- The result in its most detailed form is available on
the Simulated Machine Load Details page and the Simulated Labor Load
Details page.
