Production Plan Monitoring

For discretely-planned items, the planning process does not recommend that you reschedule in existing orders, and it does not create planned orders, within the planning time fence. However, the planning process can recommend that you reschedule out or cancel existing orders, even if they fall within the planning time fence.

For repetitively-planned items, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning restricts the planning process to suggest rates of production within the planning time fence that differ from the current aggregate repetitive schedule by no more than the acceptable rate increase and acceptable rate decrease you defined for the item. If either the acceptable rate increase and decrease value is not entered (null), Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning is not restricted from increasing or decreasing the repetitive schedule respectively.

Because the planning time fence restricts the actions that Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning can take, your plan may have material imbalances that require the attention of the master scheduler or planner. You can easily identify those elements of the plan that require the attention of the planner by using the Exceptions window to review action messages. You can view those items and orders based upon a set of predefined exception messages. You can also run the Planning Detail Report or the Supply Chain Planning Detail Report for a specific planner and exception message.
