Start Date

This field applies to APS and MRP.

Enter the starting date for the period. You only enter a start date; the end of the period is the day before the next start date. When you attempt to enter a start date that is later than the MDAY End Date parameter (set on the Planning Parameters form), a message will display informing you that the internal date is greater than the last manufacturing day. You should then enter a date that is less than the date set in this parameter.
