MPS

Concepts > MPS

What is MPS:

Master Production Scheduling is a rough production planning procedure and is used in Material Requirements Planning to develop a detailed production plan.

The Master Production Schedule is compiled by a Master Scheduler and takes into account the requirements of the various departments, including sales (delivery times), finance (minimizing inventory) and manufacturing (minimizing set-up times). The program plans the production periods and the purchase of materials taking into account the capacities and resources available to the production system.

Beas supports special forecasts, which are treated differently than usual forecasts. These can be used to integrate MPS features.

MPS scheduling can be realized in Excel or other programs and then imported by DTW into SAP Business One. As an alternative, you can use the forecast management of  SAP Business One. Enter MPS-forecasts into the MRP-scenario under "MPS".

For the requirement computation of MPS-planned items, outflows, forecasts and SCM orders are ignored and instead planned outflow from the MPS scheduling is used.

MPS only takes place if the respective item was marked as  an MPS item. This is indicated in item master (Beas) > Master data > Scheduling > Switch "MPS"

Resulting entries are marked with MPS.

Special forecasts

Special forecast are entered in the MRP scenario under MPS.

As opposed to MPS scheduling the respective items are not marked as MPS items. All planned issues are ignored and not consumed. Peggings arising, are marked with the special forecast term.  

Note: Planned inflow and outflow of work orders and purchase orders are not affected.
