Procedure

  1. Open the Project MS Basic Data window and click the Project MS Default Settings tab.
  2. In the Active list, select Part Active if you want planning for the part to be handled by project MS. If you select Part Not Active it will be handled entirely by project material requirements planning (PMRP).
  3. In the Roll list, select Rolled up if you want the first master schedule proposal for the part after the planning time fence to be adjusted, based on the quantity on-hand development between the current date and the planning time fence.
  4. In the Gen Fixed MS list, select Create Fixed MS Rcpt if you want to convert a master scheduling (MS) proposal for the part into a fixed master schedule when it falls within the planning time fence. If you select Not Create MS Rcpt the proposal will be deleted when the planning time fence is passed.
  5. In the Create S/P Req list, select Create S/P Req if you want shop order requisitions and purchase order requisitions to be created for fixed MS proposals within the planning time fence.
  6. In the Unconsumed Forecast Disposition list, select Roll out if you want any unconsumed forecasts for the part to be rolled out into the first work day after the demand time fence. If you select Drop, any unconsumed forecasts will not be rolled out.
  7. In the Forecast Consumption Window field, enter the number of days that define the range within which the forecast can be consumed by actual demand.
  8. Select the Create Project MS Supply check box if you want planning for this part to be handled by project MS instead of PMRP. Demands for the part, however, can still consume the forecast quantity.
