This chapter contains the topic:
From Material Planning Operations (G34), choose Single Site Planning
From Single Site Periodic Planning Operations (G3422), choose MPS Regeneration
When you run the MPS Regeneration program, the system compiles a master schedule. Choose the MPS Net Change program when you want to include only those items that have changed since the last generation. You can create a version of the MPS Net Change program specifically for multi-level master scheduling.
When you generate a multi-level master schedule, the system explodes planned orders to the bill of material components. This generation program identifies the percentages of all component items. By exploding the bill of material against the total number of expected sales of a parent item, you can obtain the total requirements for each item at each level in the bill of material.
When you generate a master schedule, the system evaluates selected information, performs calculations, and recommends a time-phased planning schedule for all selected items.
Set up multi-level master scheduling.
