Master Planning Report

For the period you set up in the Planning Horizon Calendar, the Master Planning Report lists the outstanding receipts, outstanding requirements, projected-available quantities, and available-to-promise quantities.

This report is similar to the Master Planning Display. Information is organized by planner code and then by item.

Note:  Each co-product item in a co-product job displays as an outstanding receipt with the same job number. By-products display as negative requirements.

The number of periods in the Planning Horizon Calendar must not be less than the number of periods displayed on the report; otherwise, an error message displays and you cannot run the report.

In the report output, the outstanding requirements are divided into three components: forecast, independent demand, and dependent demand.

The forecast amounts are the outstanding quantities for all forecasts entered for that period.

All customer orders and transfers for the current item with a due date in that period determine the independent demand quantities.

Dependent demand quantities are the requirements from parent items as planned orders are generated. Planned orders are the result of jobs or production schedules.

The receipts quantities include purchase orders, purchase requisitions, firmed or released jobs, released production schedules, and transfers.

Note: Receipt quantities from Planned production schedules will also be included if you selected the Plan Planned Production Schedules planning parameter before running the MRP or APS Planning activity.

The projected available value is calculated by adding the scheduled receipts to the beginning on-hand balance, and subtracting the outstanding requirements.

The available-to-promise quantity displays only for the current period and for those periods that contain scheduled receipts. This figure is calculated by subtracting the sum of all independent demand and dependent demand (until the next receipt is due) from the receipts in the current period. If the calculated amount is less than zero, it displays as zero.
