Use Generate Supplier Schedule to generate a draft of your supplier schedule prior to committing to a final schedule. You can review the draft of your supplier schedule using Enter/Change Schedule.

When you generate the supplier schedule, the system uses the messages from the most recent MRP generation, blanket orders, and the information defined in the Supplier Schedule Master table to create a supplier schedule. The system determines demand from the MRP messages.

In addition, the system creates multiple supplier schedules for a single item. It does this by splitting the MRP messages by the predetermined percentages that you defined in the Supplier Split Percentages table.

47.1.1 Before You Begin

• Verify that the following information has been set up:

  • The DRP or MPS system

  • An active blanket order for the item

  • Associated supplier information for the order

  • The blanket order, order type, line type, and status in the version of supply/demand inclusion rules that are used during supplier schedule generation

• Run the MPS/MRP/DRP generation so that the system can:

  • Create order messages for supplier scheduled items

  • Produce a time-series material plan so you can analyze the impact of choosing to accept or reject planning suggestions

• Review and act on any messages on the Message Detail Review form

47.1.2 What You Should Know About

Topic	Description
MRP messages	Supplier scheduling uses the messages generated from the most recent MRP generation to determine schedules. Use Detail Message Review to review these messages and change them as you see fit. In addition, you can set the appropriate processing option to clear these messages after schedule generation. The system clears only those messages inside the releasable time fence. After you clear the MRP messages, supplier scheduling creates a purchase order for every message that is included in the releasable time fence.
Multiple supplier scheduling	Supplier Scheduling uses the information in the Supplier Split Percentages table (F43211) to create quantity records for multiple suppliers. The system calculates these quantities by multiplying the MRP message quantity by the percentage defined in the Supplier Split Percentages table.
