In this step, you make the settings required to carry out master production scheduling.

In master production scheduling, those parts or produccts which greatly influence company profits or which take up critical resources are flagged as master schedule items and are planned with extra attention. A series of functions are supported for MPS to make it possible to plan master schedule items carefully and, therefore, more precisely:

• Separate planning run

In MPS, only master schedule items are planned, and the rest of the BOM is not exploded. Dependent requirements are only created for the BOM level directly below the planning level. This means that you can make changes to the master plan at master schedule item level and check the effects of the changes avoiding immediate initiation of procurement of the dependent parts. In a second step, once you are satisfied with the master plan for the master schedule items, the system plans the complete BOM structure.

• Planning time fence

You use the planning time fence to define a period in which the MRP result is to be protected from automatic changes. Depending on the fixing type defined in the MRP type, no order proposlas are created or changed automatically within this period. Thus, the MRP controller can check the dates and capacities of the planned orders in this period before the planning result affects the lower BOM levels.

• Interactive planning

The functions of interactive planning are used to reprocess the results of MPS. You can change the order proposals created automatically and you can adjust capacities for the planned orders. You can check the changes immediately in a simulative planning run.

• Special MPS evaluation layout

In MPS, special evaluations exist which have been developed according to MRPII standards. Furthermore, you can define user-specific evaluation layouts.
