Sequencing Planned Quantities for Production

Access the Define Daily Plan form.

Sequence Date

Displays by default the planned start date of the plan that you select for sequencing. If you enter a sequence date that does not match any planned start date of the listed plans, the system issues an error message.

Sequencing Method

Select the method by which the program divides the planned quantity into sequence records from the DFM Production Sequencing user-defined code table (F34S/DQ). Values are:

1: Full quantity (default)

2: Minimum order quantity

3: Maximum order quantity

4: User-specified quantity

You define the minimum and maximum order quantity for the item in the DFM Item Definition Master program (PF30L501).

Sequencing Quantity

This field become input-capable when you select sequencing method 4. In this case, you enter the quantity that you want the system to use when dividing the planned quantity into sequence records. This value cannot be a negative number or 0.

Sequence Plan

Click to generate the sequence records. If you created sequence records for this plan previously, clicking this button deletes the sequence and creates new sequence records. After creating new sequence records, the system calls the Define Daily Sequence form.

Edit Sequence

Click to access the Define Daily Sequence form to make manual changes to generated sequence records. If you click this button without having generated sequence records for the selected plan, the system displays a warning prompting you to generate the sequence.

To review only existing sequence records, click this button without defining a dividing method and quantity.

If you have changed the planned quantity and then want to edit sequence records, the systems prompts you to apply the net change. Click Save Changes or Save and Close to save the net change.

Note: For net change, you have to complete the Sequencing Method and Sequencing Quantity fields.
