Master Schedule Comparison Report

The Master Schedule Comparison Report compares master schedule quantities and/or costs. For example, you can compare the master schedule quantities of different versions of the same master schedule. You can compare the original schedule entries, the current schedule entries, or the entries that you last submitted to the planning process.

Report Submission

In the Submit Requests window, enter Master Schedule Comparison Report in the Name field.

Report Parameters

First Schedule

Select a master schedule to compare its schedule quantities to the schedule quantities of the second schedule name.

First Schedule Version

Select one of the following options:

Current Report the current version of the master demand or master production schedule.

Attention: When you first define a schedule, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning creates a current version and an original version that are identical. As you add new schedule entries, these entries are added to both versions, keeping them consistent. However, when you change existing schedule entries, only the current schedule is updated.

Last submitted to MPS/MRP Report the version of the schedule you last submitted to the MRP or MPS.

Attention: When you run the MRP or MPS, the current version is copied to this version and is used as input to the planning process. After the MRP or MPS run, this version of the schedule is saved so that you can compare it to the original version or to any changes you make to the new current version.

Original Report the original version of the schedule. As noted, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning only updates this version when you add new entries to the schedule. Updates to existing scheduling entries do not affect this version.

First Quantities

Select one of the following options:

Current Print master schedule comparison information using current master schedule quantities.

Original Print master schedule comparison information using original master schedule quantities.

Second Organization

Select the organization of the second master schedule to compare to the master schedule from your current organization.

Second Schedule

Select a master schedule to compare its schedule quantities to the first schedule name. You can only choose a schedule of same type as the first schedule name.

Second Schedule Version

Select one of the following options:

Current Use the current version of the master demand or master production schedule.

Attention: When you first define a schedule, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning creates a current version and an original version that are identical. As you add new schedule entries, these entries are added to both versions, keeping them consistent. However, when you change existing schedule entries, only the current schedule is updated.

Last submitted to MPS/MRP Report the version of the schedule you last submitted to the MRP or MPS.

Attention: When you run the MRP or MPS, the current version is copied to this version and is used as input to the planning process. After the MRP or MPS run, this version of the schedule is saved so that you can compare it to the original version or to any changes you make to the new current version.

Original Use the original version of the schedule. As noted, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning only updates this version when you add new entries to the schedule. Updates to existing scheduling entries do not affect this version.

Second Quantities

Select one of the following options:

Current Print master schedule comparison information using current master schedule quantities.

Original Print master schedule comparison information using original master schedule quantities.

Report Start Date

Enter a report start date from which Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning prints the master schedule comparison.

Periods

Select one of the following options:

12 Report the forecast for 12 periods.

24 Report the forecast for 24 periods.

36 Report the forecast for 36 periods.

48 Report the forecast for 48 periods.

Weeks

Enter the number of weeks. The number of Weeks you choose, together with the number of Periods you choose, determines how many weeks and how many months that display in the horizontal time-phased plan.

For example, if you choose 24 as the time Period and 10 as the number of Weeks, 10 of these periods display as weeks, the remaining 14 as months.

Note: The number of weeks that displays in the QuickPick is based on the workday calendar and corresponds to the end of the working periods. For example, if you choose 12 as the time Period and it is the third week of a four week period calendar, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning calculates the number of weeks to the end of each period and displays the valid QuickPick options as 1, 5, and 9 weeks.

Include Costs

Select one of the following options:

No Report the comparison information by units rather than value (standard cost times units).

Yes Report the comparison information by value (standard cost times units) in addition to units.

Include Before Start Date

Select one of the following options:

No Do not display forecast entries, bucketed in the first bucket, before the start date you enter.

Yes Display forecast entries, bucketed in the first bucket, before the start date you enter.

First Sort

Select one of the following options. The report sorts items first in this order, then in the order you specify for the second and third sort.

ABC class Sort items first by ABC class.

Buyer Sort first by buyer.

Category Sort first by material category.

Inventory item Sort first by inventory item.

No sort Do not employ a first sort for the report.

Planner Sort first by planner.

Second Sort

Select the second sort type for the item. Items are sorted by the First Sort type and then by this sort type within the first type.

For example, if you choose Planner as the first sort type and Category as the second sort type. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning sorts the report by planner, and then by material category within planner.

Note: If you choose No sort here, the report is sorted using just the First Sort type.

If you choose No sort, the report is sorted by using just the First Sort type.

Third Sort

Select the third sort type for the item. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning sorts the items by the first sort type, then by the second sort type within the first type, and finally by this sort type within the second type.

For example, if you choose Planner as the first sort type, Category as the second sort type, and Inventory item as the third sort type, the report is sorted by planner, then by material category within planner, and finally by Inventory item within material category.

If you choose No sort, the report is sorted by using just the first and second sort types.
