Re: help with Finiate Forward Scheduling

Mitch:

The logic for MPS/MRP calculation in this situation are as follows:

1.  The Horizon is considered under the direct control of the Planner.  
Therefore, the system cannot create Planned Orders within this time period.

2.  If there is a Net Requirement within the Horizon (i.e. Projected Balance 
goes below Minimum Balance), do not create the Planned Order on that date.  
MPS/MRP will create the Planned Order just outside of the Horizon with an 
Expedite Message to the actual required date.

3.  An FPO that is outside of the Horizon was placed there by the Planner.  
MPS/MRP then assumes that the Planner has taken control of a time period 
further out than just the Horizon.

4.  Therefore, if there already is an FPO outside the Horizon, MPS/MRP 
recommends that it be Expedited to the actual required date.  In the netting 
logic, 
it will assume that this change will be made by the Planner and it will carry 
forward the Projected Balance.  When the next need occurs, it will create a 
Planned Order on that date.

I hope that this explanation is clear.  If you have further questions, please 
feel free to contact me offline.
