Searching for Message and Item Summary Information

To search for message and item summary information:

1. Access the Planning Summary form.

   Form Name	Form ID	Navigation
   Planning Summary	W34X100A	DRP Daily Operations (G3411) or MRP Daily Operations (G3413). Select Planning Summary (P34X100).

2. (Optional) Expand the Item Selection group.

3. On the Item Information tab, enter values in these fields, as applicable:

   Configuration Name

   Enter the name of the message type configuration for which you want to search for message and item summary information.

   If you set the Configuration Name processing option for the Planning Summary program (P34X100), the system displays that value in this field. You can override the default value.

   This is a required field.

   Item Number

   Enter a number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in short, long, or third item number format.

   Planner Number

   Enter the address book number of the material planner for the item. Alternatively, you can specify the planner number in an enhanced query.

   Planning Code

   Enter a code that indicates how Master Production Scheduling (MPS), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), or Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) processes this item. Values are:

   0: Not Planned by MPS, MRP, or DRP

   1: Planned by MPS or DRP

   2: Planned by MRP

   3: Planned by MRP with additional independent forecast

   4: Planned by MPS, Parent in Planning Bill

   5: Planned by MPS, Component in Planning Bill

   These codes are hard-coded.

   Alternatively, you can specify the planning code in an enhanced query.

   Branch/Plant

   Enter an alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit can be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant. You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting.

   Alternatively, you can specify the branch/plant in an enhanced query.

   Note: Business unit security can prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.

   Master Planning Family

   Enter a value from UDC (41/P4) that represents an item property type or classification, such as commodity type or planning family. The system uses this code to sort and process similar items. This field is one of the six classification categories available primarily for purchasing purposes.

   Alternatively, you can specify the master planning family in an enhanced query.

   Supplier

   Enter the address book number of the preferred provider of the item. Alternatively, you can specify the supplier in an enhanced query.

   Buyer Number

   Enter the address book number of the person responsible for setting up and maintaining the correct stocking levels for the item. Alternatively, you can specify the buyer number in an enhanced query.

4. (Optional) Click the Message Information tab.

5. On the Message Information tab, enter values in these fields, as applicable:

   Project Number

   Enter a number that identifies an Engineer to Order project in the system. You must set up the project in the Add/Revise Project program (P31P011).

   Alternatively, you can specify the project number in an enhanced query.

   Production Number

   Enter an alphanumeric value that provides the ability to associate supply transactions to a demand transaction. Alternatively, you can specify the production number in an enhanced query.

   The production number is a 30-digit alphanumeric value that the system generates based on user-defined segments and segment values. To maintain a unique identifier, the system concatenates the production number short to the system-generated production number.

   The production number can also be a user-input value that is different from the system-generated value. If the user inputs a value for the production number, then the system does not concatenate the production number short to the production number.

   A production number is generated or entered at the time of sales order entry or forecast entry. MRP populates all messages generated from this demand with the production number. All transactions associated with the production number can be managed through the Production Number Workbench program (P34403).
