Defining an MPS name in Supply Chain Planning involves extra steps. Supply Chain Planning users should refer to Defining a Supply Chain MPS Name for further instructions.

If you launch a plan with an MPS names, you can also make a copy that is identical to the original. You can then view, implement, and replan either copy, discarding the altered plan at any time and preserving the original data. See: Making a Copy of a Completed Plan.

   To define a schedule name:

1. Navigate to the Master Demand Schedules or Master Production Schedules window (called MDS Names and MPS Names in the navigator).

2. Enter a name and description.

3. Optionally, select a demand class.

4. Save your work.

You can now define a master schedule manually, or load a schedule from another source, with the name(s) you created.

   To set additional MPS options

1. In the MPS window check Inventory ATP. You can optionally include your MPS plan as available supply when you calculate available to promise information in Oracle Inventory.

2. In the MPS window, check Feedback to monitor the quantity of the planned order that has been implemented as discrete jobs, purchase orders, or purchase requisitions.

This provides the planner visibility of the status of the plan at any point in time.

3. In the MPS window, check Production to enable a plan to auto-release planned orders. See: Auto-release Planned Orders.

   To set relief options for a schedule name:

1. Check Relieve to relieve schedule entries.

For master demand schedules, all sales order shipments relieve the appropriate schedule entries (shipment relief). For master production schedules, when you create discrete jobs, purchase orders, or purchase requisitions, you relieve schedule entries (production relief).

If you associate a demand class with your schedule, the relief process updates those schedule entries whose demand class matches a sales order, discrete job, purchase order, or purchase requisition.

2. Save your work.

   To disable a schedule name:

Note: You can view disabled schedules but not modify them.

1. Navigate to the Master Demand Schedules or Master Production Schedules window.

2. Query a schedule name.

3. Enter an inactive-on date.

4. Save your work.
