Defining the Commitment Control and Type of Commitment

Access the Manufacturing Constants Revision form.

To define the commitment control and type of commitment:

1. On the Manufacturing Constants Revision form, select the Commitment Control tab and then select an option from the Commitment Control group box

   If you select the Primary Location option, the program does not select lots.

   If you want to split locations, you have two options. You can either specify commitments throughout different locations within one branch/plant, or specify commitments throughout different locations from different branch/plants.

2. Select an option from the Hard/Soft Commit group box, and then click OK:

   If you use substitutes, you must specify a hard commitment.

   The first option will make hard commitments when parts list is attached. The second option will make soft commitments when the parts list is attached. These commitments will become hard when the parts list is printed using Work Order Generation (R31410). The last option will create soft commitments when the parts list is attached and will remain soft, until a lot is specified.
