Making a Copy of a Completed Plan
Once you have generated an MPS, MRP, or DRP plan, you can make a copy that is identical to the original. The copy will contain all the supply/demand records and options that are in the source plan. You can then view, implement, and replan either copy, discarding the altered plan at any time and preserving the original data.
Before you can copy a plan, you must:
Define an MPS, MRP, or DRP name and run a plan under that name. This will be your source plan.
Define a plan name of the same type as your source plan (MPS, MRP, DRP). This will be your destination plan.
Restrictions
The source and destination plans must be the same type. For instance, you cannot copy an MRP source plan into an MPS destination plan.
The same organization must own both source and destination plans.
You must log into the same organization that owns the source and destination plans.
The responsibility of the user that generated the source plan must be the same as the user that defined the destination plan. For instance, a source plan generated by a user with material planner responsibilities cannot be copied into a destination plan defined by a user with supply chain planner responsibilities.
The production and feedback flags, and all plan options are copied from the source to the destination plan. Any flags or options you set will be overwritten during the copy process.
To copy a previously generated plan:
Note: If you see the error message, No entries found for List of Values, you have not defined a valid source or destination plan. Refer to the prerequisites and restrictions listed above if you see this message.
