Plan Materials at Operation Start
This field applies to MRP and APS.
When the system is planning released jobs and production schedule releases, this field controls whether the materials for a job or production schedule release are required to be available at the operation's start date or at the job/PS release start date.
- Select this field to plan the materials to be due at the start of the operation in which the materials are used. This method of planning results in a just-in-time material plan.
- Clear this field to plan all materials to be due at the start of the job/production schedule.
Note:
- Planned production schedule releases are only affected by this parameter if the planning parameter, Plan Planned Production Schedules, is selected.
- This field also determines how requirements are displayed on the Time Phased Inventory Status form and on the Purchase Requirements Report.
