Navigation

From Material Planning Operations (G34), choose MRP

From MRP Daily Operations (G3413), choose Enter/Change Schedule

Use Enter/Change Schedule to review and revise the supplier schedule that you generated. You might need to override system-scheduled quantities to compensate for last-minute changes to the schedule.

After you review the schedule and make any necessary revisions, you must accept the information on Enter/Change Schedule to commit to a final schedule.

Enter/Change Schedule allows you to:

  • Review planned, released, and historical quantity information

  • Display the current supplier schedule

  • Review cumulative quantity information

  • Update planned quantities in the schedule before you release them

  • Finalize the supplier schedule

48.1.1 What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Changing supplier information The Planned field is the only field that you can change on the Enter/Change Schedule screen. The system recalculates the quantities in the Cumulative Frozen, Fabricate, and Raw Material fields when a change is made.

Any changes that you make to the schedule will not affect the most recent MPS, MRP, or DRP generation. After you release the supplier schedule and create purchase orders for the blanket order releases, the next MPS, MRP, or DRP generation treats the purchase orders as available supply items.
