Master Production Schedule Maintenance
On-going maintenance of the MPS is critical to the production plan. Your company policies and procedures dictate what changes you can make, when you can make them, and who is authorized to make them.
When you define an item as being MPS planned, you can choose to automatically reduce master production schedule entries. A periodic process (planning manager) automatically reduces master production schedule entries for discrete items based on the option you choose. The planning manager deletes master production entries for repetitive items.
None
You can use this option to leave master production schedule entries and not automatically reduce them. Production relief decrements the master production schedule entries through the creation of discrete jobs or purchase requisitions.
Past Due
You can use this option to automatically reduce master production schedule entries as they become past due.
You can use this option to automatically reduce master production schedule entries for discrete items within the demand time fence of the item. (Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning does not reduce any entries if you do not specify the demand time fence.) Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning deletes master production entries for repetitive items. This option may be necessary when MPS relief is turned off, or if you are not using Oracle Work in Process. If a master production schedule spans a demand time fence, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning truncates it on the time fence date.
