Creating Firm Planned Orders
You can firm the planned orders to stabilize portions of the material plan. You can also add firm planned orders to the plan manually. When you launch the planning process, you can choose not to overwrite firm planned orders.
Firming a planned order does not firm the job in Oracle Work in Process. Firming a planned order only prevents the planning process suggesting changes. See: Implementing Planned Orders as Firm Jobs .
To firm a planned order:
2. Check the item you want to firm.
Note: You can create firm planned orders for discrete parts and repetitive schedules only. You cannot firm purchase orders.
3. Check Firm and, optionally, update the firm date and firm quantity.
To manually add a firm planned order:
You can add firm planned orders for DRP-planned, MRP-planned, or MPS-planned items.
1. Navigate to the Supply/Demand window.
2. Select New Record from the Edit Menu.
3. Enter an item and organization.
Note: You can add firm planned orders for discrete parts and repetitive schedules only. You cannot firm purchase orders.
4. Enter an order type (either Planned Order or Manual MDS).
The Action field is set to Release and the Firm box is checked automatically.
5. Enter the firm date and firm quantity.
6. Check Firm and, optionally, update the firm date and firm quantity.
7. Optionally, enter a source organization and source supplier.
8. Optionally, enter the alternate BOM designator and alternate routing designator.
Note: If the item exists in a supply schedule that derives this plan, you will not be able to add firm planned orders for it.
