The system generates fixed master scheduling receipts as part of the Level 1 process. You can also create them manually.
If the Create Fixed MS Rcpt attribute is set for a master-scheduled Level 1 part, the system generates fixed receipts automatically as proposed receipts cross the planning time fence for the part. Alternatively, you can manually create fixed receipts either inside or outside the planning time fence. If Create S/P Req is selected in the MS Level 1 Part window, the system will create requisitions from the fixed receipts that are inside the planning time fence.
Fixed master scheduling receipts represent a type of firm planned order. The system does not delete the existing ones at the beginning of the Level 1 process.
Fixed receipts generate demand for capacity, or load, in resource requirements planning (RRP) work centers.
