Supply Chain Master Schedule Types
The Supply Chain MDS is a statement of interorganizational demand. It contains details of the anticipated shipment schedule, loaded from several sources. You can use the time-phased master demand schedule as input to the master production scheduling process, the material requirements planning process, distribution requirements planning, and, indirectly, the replenishment strategy.
Some of the demand types that the Supply Chain MDS considers are:
- internal material transfers
The Supply Chain MPS is a statement of supply required to meet the demand for the items contained in an MDS or another MPS. You can use the Supply Chain MPS to level or smooth production so that you effectively utilize capacity to drive the material requirements plan or distribution requirements plan.
