Mfg Mode

These processing options define whether the system generates plans for process items, projects, and configurator items.

1. Process Planning

Specify plan generation for process items.

If you use process manufacturing, enter 1 to generate the plan based on the forecasts of the co-products and by-products for the process. The program then creates messages for the process. Values are:

Blank: Run Discrete planning.

1: Run Process planning.

2. Project Planning

Specify whether the system includes supply and demand from items that are associated with Engineer to Order (ETO) projects or Project Manufacturing production numbers.

Project-specific items have a stocking type of G or H. ETO project-specific items have a Special Handling Code of type P. Values are:

Blank: Do not include items associated with ETO projects or Project Manufacturing production numbers.

1: Include items associated with ETO projects.

2: Include items associated with Project Manufacturing production numbers.

3. Configurator Components Table

Specify whether the system processes configurator components from the Configurator Component table (F3215) and adds them to the Sales Order Detail File table (F4211) and Work Order Parts List table (F3111). If you enter a 1 in this processing option, the system processes the items on the F3215 table as demand items.

Blank: Do not process.

1: Process.
